Circumstances don't matter, only state of being matters.

- Tami Close

He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment. - Meister Elkhart

Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth. Life is eternal.

When you walk through a forest that has not been tamed and interfered with by man, you will see not only abundant life all around you, but you also encounter fallen trees and decaying trunks, rotting leaves and decomposing matter at every step.  Wherever you look, you will find death as well as life.

Upon closer scrutiny, however, you will discover that the decomposing tree trunk and rotting leaves not only give birth to new life, but are full of life themselves.  Microorganisms are at work. Molecules are rearranging themselves.  So death isn't to be found anywhere.  There is only the metamorphosis of life forms.

Excerpt from Stillness Speaks by Eckhart Tolle

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.  - Mahatma Gandhi

Are journalists in general intellectual "prostitutes"?

Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play. - Joseph Goebbels

Our bodies are where we stay; Our souls are what we are.

The mind exists in a state of “not enough” and so is always greedy for more. When you are identified with the mind you get bored and restless very easily.

- Eckhart Tolle
