Asking “Who is the villain?” is the prologue to asking who should be punished.

But asking “What are the conditions that led to this?” leads us to consider how to change those conditions so that the situation is less likely to happen again.

Even though we cannot see clearly how it’s going to turn out, we are still called to let the future into our imagination.

We will never be able to build what we have not first cherished in our hearts.

Nothing is merely a means to an end, nothing is merely a step on the path to somewhere else. Every moment, everything, is absolutely foundational in its own right.

Anger is considered a poison when it’s self-motivated and self-centered.

But take that attachment to the self out of anger and the same emotion becomes the fierce energy of determination, which is a very positive force …

Drop the self-orientation from ignorance, and it becomes a state of unknowing that allows new things to rise.
