Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.



Sleep is the best meditation.



If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun.



Through money or power you cannot solve all problems. The problem in the human heart must be solved first.
