Beliefs are like shoes. Mine fit me, not you, but that doesn't make your feet bad. Old shoes fall apart. New shoes need breaking in.
Holding a grudge us like holding a handful of dung.
It makes people question your good judgment, wonder why you’d do that, makes you look bad, plus it stinks, drives people away, and it gets in the way doing doing better things.
Best to wash our hands of it.

Don’t blame the world.
Reading comments from southerners on the Fort Worth Buddhists' peace march and it's always like "oh don't walk through the capitol you'll get shot!" My friend, no sufferings befall the man who is not attached to name and form, and who calls nothing his own.
