You are me, and I am you
Isn't it obvious that we "inter-are"?
You cultivate the flower in yourself,
so that I will be beautiful
I transform the garbage in myself,
so that you will not have to suffer
I support you,
you support me
I am in this world to offer you peace,
you are in this world to bring me joy

- Thich Nhat Hanh

When I get mad I'm no good. I remember how I used to get mad thinking about how they murdered Noble Red Man and those other great leaders - Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Big Foot, and all the others. I was a young man, hot-headed. My anger got the best of me. I couldn't think right. I said, "I'm going to get back at them every way I can." And I did. You'd probably do the same thing. My wife finally came to me. She said, "Don't do that anymore. You're going to get killed. And besides, it's wrong."

So I stopped. I tried peace instead.
Peace is harder, but it's the better way.
Wickedness lays heavy on the soul.
If you want to fly with the eagle, you can't be wicked.

Our task for the future lies in accepting and exploring what it means for each individual to be a member of a universal community. The human brain is a hologram of the universe, a microcosm of the macrocosm. To know, feel and experience this identity with the whole of human life is the purpose of human life, and the ultimate source of our hope.
