You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. ~ Buddha.

How to live a good life? Respecting ourselves and respecting the right of others to live their life in their way as long as they do not by their actions take away the rights of others is a good start. Use your common sense and empathy if you have it to guide you. People you encounter on the internet who try to lower your spirit in some way are damaged people do not take on board their bitterness. No one can know you as you know yourself. Be kind to yourself and others.

My favorite virtue, I confess, is chivalrous devotedness,
My favorite quality in man, the manful genius that can
With iron will and eye sublime, up to the heights of empire climb;
Although in woman, as I think, gentleness is perfection's pink.

~ Douglas Sladen.

I Hate Bigots!

There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars. ~ Jack Kerouac.
