Self Confidence Plays An Important Part In

When The Only Bond Between Close Friends Is Attachment, Then Even A Minor Issue May Cause One's Projections To Change. As Soon As Our Projections Change, The Attachment Disappears, Because That Attachment Was Based Solely On Projection And Expectation. It Is Possible To Have Compassion Without Attachment, And Similarly, To Have Anger Without Hatred.

Easy Times Are The Enemy, They Put Us To Sleep. Adversity Is Our Friend, It Wakes Us Up

... Our Individual Well-being Is Intimately Connected Both With That Of All Others And With The Environment Within Which We Live.... Our Every Action, Our Every Deed, Word, And Thought, No Matter How Slight Or Inconsequential It May Seem, Has An Implication Not Only For Ourselves, But For All Others, Too.

It Is Important To Reflect On The Kindness Of Others. Every Aspect Of Our Present Well-being Is Due To Others' Hard Work. The Buildings We Live And Work In, The Roads We Travel, The Clothes We Wear, And The Food We Eat, Are All Provided By Others. None Of Them Would Exist But For The Kindness Of So Many People Unknown To Us.

All Living Beings Have Experience Of Pleasure And Pain, And We Are Among Them. What Makes Human Beings Different Is That We Have A Powerful Intelligence And A Much Greater Ability To Achieve Happiness And Avoid Suffering. Real Happiness And Friendship Come Not From Money Or Even Knowledge, But From Warm-heartednes S. Once We Recognize This We Will Be More Inclined To Cultivate It.
