A violência invisível - Monja Coen Roshi

“At
some point, one tires of walking in the circles of ignorance, because
one becomes aware that one’s actions generate more and more suffering
each time. One sees oneself stuck in the same place, and feels a sincere
willingness to go beyond this place and to free oneself of all lies and
self-deceit. So one says: ‘I want to know what my responsibility is in
this game. Why do I keep repeating the same negative situations? Why am I
always falling in the same hole?’ At this moment, one commits oneself
to the truth, as much as it may hurt one’s vanity.”
