The brightness of a day can make one forget the darkness of the night, but the cycle continues. To struggle against either is to lose. It is most important to understand the nature of things if one is to be at peace with them.

Pain can either serve as a guide towards a better life or as an enemy that we get busy fighting. Either is available. Each is valuable. Former is wisdom, latter is courage. What does your life demand of you today? To answer this question with involvement and passion is service.

To want is to be miserable. It matters not whether what we want is vice or virtue, sensible or senseless, for another or for ourselves. Wanting is misery. A belief in the promise of that which is not at the expense of that which is. Stop wanting. Start living.

Morality without emotional buy-in is akin to a sail boat without winds. The rational mind is limited in its ability to enforce virtue without support from the subconscious.

Because we do not know what to do with ourselves, we rely on another to provide that direction by them creating a stimuli in the form of a contact, communication, situation, invitation etc to which then we can then respond or attend to and not have to face the emptiness of our lives anymore. This dependence creates resentment in the form of blame, anger, and frustration, when such stimulus does not arise as per our expectations. Thus withers away the quality of our relationships and the joy from our life. To have a good relationship with another it is paramount to be at ease with our own selves first. Secondly, it is important that we be friendly towards all without dwelling too much of friendships themselves, which become laden with expectations over time, which kills joy.
