Life is life, live it...

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it.


Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it. 


Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.


Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it. 


Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it."
~ Mother Teresa

Tao

"Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures. 
 
Simple in actions and thoughts, 
you return to the source of being.
 
 
 Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are. 
 

Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world."
~ Laozi

Universe

A human being is a part of the whole 
called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. 
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling 
as something separated from the rest, 
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. 

 
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, 
restricting us to our personal desires 
and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. 

 
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison 
by widening our circle of compassion 
to embrace all living creatures and 
the whole of nature in its beauty."
~Albert Einstein
