"If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation." —Lao Tzu

"More fundamental than religion is our basic human spirituality. We have a basic human disposition towards love, kindness and affection, irrespective of whether we have a religious framework or not. When we nurture this most basic human resource – when we set about cultivating those basic inner values which we all appreciate in others, then we start to live spiritually. - Dalai Lama

The basic foundation of humanity is compassion and love. This is why, if even a few individuals simply try to create mental peace and happiness within themselves and act responsibly and kind-heartedly towards others, they will have a positive influence in their community.

My hope and wish is that one day, formal education will pay attention to what I call “education of the heart.” Just as we take for granted the need to acquire proficiency in the basic academic subjects, I am hopeful that a time will come when we can take it for granted that children will learn, as part of the curriculum, the indispensability of inner values: love, compassion, justice, and forgiveness.

I dont come here a lot and i rarely ask for help....
i've found my self stuck in a "space" that is not very good. perhaps this is not the best place to let my sorrows known, but im dont know where else to go and what else to do....i will be grateful for any vibes and positive energy sent my way during this difficult and helpless, so it seems, time.
love to all

The very purpose of spirituality is self-discipline. Rather than criticizing others, we should evaluate and criticize ourselves.
Ask yourself, what am I doing about my anger, my attachment, my pride, my jealousy?
These are the things we should check in our day to day lives.
