Nov 2022

I've posted this comment on DU before, and I guess it's just something that always sticks with me:

"Speak or act with contaminated mind, and suffering follows,
like the wheel of the wagon follows the hoof of the ox.

Speak or act with a peaceful mind, and happiness follows,
like a never departing shadow."

-- from The Dharmapada

He has only to change his point of view to thinking about what would be of benefit to others. Even if we were to tell him this, it would not sink in. Truly very sad.
