‘To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower is to hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.’ – William Blake

Earth’s Mournful Cry
“Why? Why do only selfish people live, but those with a heart and the righteous die? The heaven have made such a cruel choice. Is there no fairness in this world?”
~ Wei Zheng (Nirvana in Fire)
**I think perhaps it is this sense of Fairness and Justice that separates the good from the bad. The good know what should be done and do it, regardless of benefit to themselves. The bad see only what they would like to be done, seeing only the benefit to themselves. The less fairness the world displays, the worse you know things are.
Closeness
“There will come a day when you find someone who makes your burdens lighter. The person who takes all your concerns, pressures, and heartaches and makes them somehow smaller and more insignificant. They make you feel happier and more hopeful, encouraged. Hold onto that person — that is a true and worthy love.”

“The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.”

Wait and Hope
“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.
” Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, ‘Wait and Hope.”
~ Alexander Dumas
