some philosophy for the day

[karina]

If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.

If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.

If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbours.

If there is to be peace between neighbours,
There must be peace in the home.

If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.

- Lao-Tse, Chinese philosopher

Amen to that. It's beautiful

Very true. I always say if you want to see change then you have to work on yourself first and then everything else will follow.

Good argument for the personal practice of mindfulness, meditation, and the like.

It's also empowering, makes a little bit of world peace seem within my reach, if I can just keep my heart at peace.
