| I hope you are correct. There are ways of the spirit. Of thinking beyond the self.
Until the self can be transcended, the world will indeed suffer. We are as children.
We are greedy and seek to share our ego with the world. Yet, until we are
concerned of and with other people's lights, we will not be united. When we work
for the whole, instead of the self, we will indeed then shine. We will surrender
our ego, for the whole. |
