Via Daily Dharma: Will We Choose Fear or Compassion?
Every
day when we wake up, we have a choice. Will we choose fear or will we
choose compassion and love? These are very strong, but I’ve learned in
my short 28 years that anger and fear exhaust me, whereas if I do work
out of love and compassion and kindness, I’m actually nourished. It’s a
sustainable energy.
