The left hand is caught and the right hand pulls it out. The left hand turns to the right and says ‘thank you.’ It doesn’t work because they are both part of the same body. Who are you thanking? You’re thanking yourself. So that on that plane you realize it’s not her suffering, his suffering, or their suffering. You go up one level, it’s our suffering. You go up another level, it’s my suffering. Then as it gets de-personalized, it’s ‘the’ suffering. Out of the identity with ‘the’ suffering comes ‘the’ compassion. It arises in relationship to the suffering. It’s part and parcel of the whole package. There is nothing personal in this at all. In that sense, you have become compassion instead of doing compassionate acts. Instead of being compassionate, you are compassion.

Ram Dass (via nirvikalpa)

Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber.

Acceptance is the bridge. Accept the pain, accept the wounds, accept yourself as you are! Don’t try to pretend to be somebody else, don’t try to show that you are not this. Don’t be egoistic, and don’t go on pre-tending and laughing while your heart is crying. Don’t smile if your eyes are full of tears. Don’t be inauthentic, because by being inauthentic you are simply protecting your wounds from being healed. Your whole being will become rotten.— Osho

Remember when they were going to censor the internet?

Remember when people cared about Kony?

Remember when people did the cinnamon challenge?

Remember when everyone played Temple Run?

Remember the Alamo?

Remember the Titans?

remember who you are

Remember the 5th of November?

Do you remember the time?

Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.
