Quotes
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” ~ Dr. Seuss “Each of us is a unique strand in the intricate web of life and here to make a contribution.” ~ Deepak Chopra “There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.” ~ Martha Graham |
Reflection
Most of us cannot help comparing ourselves with others, at least now and then. As long as we compete with each other and compare one with another, a certain amount of envy is inescapable. It is the very rare person who is completely free from jealousy. But as our awareness grows, we will know that there is a uniqueness about everyone. The truly nonviolent person never tries to compare himself with others, or others among themselves. While being aware of our uniqueness, also being aware of our oneness creates a sense of nonviolence. |
