“When we’re putting up the barriers and the sense of “me” as separate from “you” gets stronger, right there in the midst of difficulty and pain, the whole thing could turn around simply by not erecting barriers; simply by staying open to the difficulty, to the feelings that you’re going through; simply by not talking to ourselves about what’s happening. That is a revolutionary step. Becoming intimate with pain is the key to changing at the core of our being—staying open to everything we experience, letting the sharpness of difficult times pierce us to the heart, letting these times open us, humble us, and make us wiser and more brave. Let difficulty transform you. And it will. In my experience, we just need help in learning how not to run away.”

“Years ago we used to have leaders with brains; compassion for people; the guts to stand up for what’s right and just not only for them, but for the whole world.These days all we get are leaders trying to stand up with their egos in their mouths and stubbornness in their actions and words; out to get what they can reap. They don’t care about the normal people! They only care about themselves & their close circle of friends!I’ve only met one or two honest politicians in my fifty odd years, and I’ve read about some, but as for the rest of them……..Well, maybe it’s time that normal people took over.The mums and dads!Young minds with a modicum of compassion for their fellow man!People who will look past religion, race, wealth & greed, caste!People who honestly care about whether their children live or die!People who believe that mankind and the Earth, as a whole, is worth saving!People who will look towards the Earth as our home and not our waste dump.People who stand for friendship and not hatred!People without bigoted views, who are willing to change their mind if they are wrong!If you want to know who these people are, just have a look in the mirror. Ask your kids who theirhero is. Ask them if they want a world without animals. Without food to eat. Without clean water to drink.Without their parents to look after them. Without love to keep them safe.It’s time for a change. I can’t change your views, only you can do that.If you don’t want to do it for yourself, at least do it for your kids.Have a heart! Give your children life!”
