-- TO MY FRIENDS --
One of the most important victories
is to win the battle against ourselves.
Today is the day we push through
Today is the day we push through
and live it to the fullest,
without regrets!
Let's make an effort to try
Let's make an effort to try
to take that one step forwards!

"Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) said: 'It is a great folly to hope that other men will harmonise with us. . . . For it is in conflict with natures opposed to his own that a man must collect his strength to fight his way through; and thus all our different sides are brought out and developed, so that we soon feel ourselves a match for every foe..'[1]
"We mustn't avoid those who don't seem to listen to us or who think differently from us. Part of our practice is learning to work harmoniously with such individuals and gain their understanding and support.
"This is how our movement as a whole advances and how we grow as individuals. We must strive to be able to engage with anyone without trepidation."
