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.
The greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Lao Tzu

The Opposite of Virtue
One might say, a vice is a vise
never mind if metal or moral—
it’s, basically, the same device
With cunning moveable jaws
designed to fix us in place
and cheat us of chance at grace

“And though there be on earth swamps and dense afflictions, he who has light feet runs even across the mud, and dances, as upon well swept ice.”
#Nietzsche
Educated is schooled in the ways of the heart;
literate is versed in the alphabet of emotions.

'I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, necessities, persecution, distresses... for when I am weak, then I am strong.'
2 Cor 12:10

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.
—Nietzsche
There are no unsacred places;
there are only sacred places
and desecrated places.

Must one wring the fruit utterly dry
or can we return the ticket half-used
no longer enamored by this glinting orb
or its ration of enchanting vanities?
