A lot of people seem to confuse success as what they have instead of who they are

the sick, the poor, the outcasts, the dogs

They are me! They are us. We are killing ourselves. We have to stop it!

Love will overcome hate if we maintain that view.

Someone you hate, is perfect in the eyes of another. Someone you love, is a demon to someone else. Who sees the truth and who sees the lie? It seems like if you knew everyone deeply enough you'd see everyone is truly messed up and absolutely lovable at the same time.

Harboring anger towards someone is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to fall ill.

It's not the same as people who move for a new life or because they are refugees. I'm moving for love to another English speaking country. But I'm learning what it means to become an immigrant. It's daunting.There is a sense that others want you to fail, there is so much to do & to potentially lose.

I apologize on behalf of the US. It's so deeply heartbreaking how devastating life has been for Palestinians, the Trans and LGB communities, women, the poor, people who rely on government aid worldwide, the middle class, and basically everyone outside of the top 1%. Thank you to all trying to help!!

Convincing someone to change their political opinions is a grueling full time job with little to no return on investment. Caring for someone despite their political opinions is counterintuitive but yields better long term results. So does petting a dog,drawing a butterfly or much of anything else.

One day I hope to be completely unrecognizable from the selfish, ignorant and angry person I see now. Because that person that I see is not the real me. If I really want the world to change, I need to change.

Today I had my morning meditation outside overlooking a forest behind my friend's house. I imagined that all the trees were Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The birds (sentient beings) chirped as the sun (my root Guru) rose over the horizon.

May the entire day be as meaningful as this for everyone.
