There is no one to blame. All the things that happen to you are meaningful and valuable, whether you feel slighted, cheated, rejected, angry, abandoned or suffer from any other personal affliction. It’s how you perceive your life that matters. If you switch your perspective from “life just happens” to “everything is meaningful” and begin to get interested in the unfolding of your life then everything else gets interesting too. May you all get interested because that’s what it’s all about now, taking the personal “interesting” journey of Self, to find meaning in everything, so that the collective may become interesting and meaningful again too. Everything matters. Everything has value. Everything is meaningful.

Kindness can rarely be overdone. Do not hesitate to find within yourself the ability to shine like the sun and the moon, to allow kindness to radiate from you, for all beings deserve kindness. A little kindness goes a long way, but the returns are far greater than you might think, for who knows but your touch of kindness might be just the thing that helps another to reignite an interest in life, to find renewed faith in mankind, to be able to once again smile and enjoy life. Spread a little kindness today. It’s free and easy, just a kind word or a smile is all it takes.

Suffering cannot be eliminated, for suffering is life. But life is also the opposite, joy. And so both must be accepted and worked with by raising awareness that a balanced life requires the two, as well as the means to travel between the two. A balanced life takes into consideration that both joy and suffering have their necessary places in the framework of living. To find the balance between the extremes is to find satisfaction with all that occurs and to be okay with the true facts of life. Find a means of understanding the whys of life and live in the balance that brings the reality of joy and suffering together in full awareness of their necessity.

To do what is right one must know what right action is, that is, that which is in accordance with nature in balance, with good in balance with evil, with all emotions in balance within the self. To achieve balance is thus the first step in being prepared to take right action. To know the self on the deepest levels, all imbalances included, and to understand how they act out and take over the self is imperative if one is to act intelligently and with compassion, to take right action on behalf of self and other. Right action comes naturally when all is understood and all is in balance. Seek balance.
