If He Cries, Can You Cry?

“Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.”

“For those who may not find happiness to exercise religious faith, it's okay to remain a radical atheist, it's absolutely an individual right, but the important thing is with a compassionate heart -- then no problem.”

- Dalai Lama


It is truer to be a non-believer with compassion than a believer with none.

If we compare how compassionate we are instead of how religious, this world would be a much kinder place to live in.
