आत्मा जेयस्सदा राज्ञा ततो जेयाश्च शत्रवः। धर्मार्थौ प्रतिगृह्णीयात् कामक्रोधौ च वर्जयेत्॥
“A king must conquer his own self for all time; then only are his enemies to be conquered. Adopting virtue & material good, he should avoid passion & anger.”
- Shanti Parva, MbH
If Trump can accomplish his stated goals — getting the US out of the global-policeman racket, clearing away at least a portion of our useless federal bureaucracy, and trimming the health care industry down to size — it’s possible that he’ll preside over such a period of revival and restabilization. We’ll have to wait and see.
If you try to fix the world without first fixing yourself, all you'll do is amplify your own problems onto a larger scale and inflict them on everyone else. If you get to work fixing yourself, by contrast, that will radiate from you and improve the world.
“As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. No reality fits an ideology. Life is beyond that. …
That is why people are always searching for a meaning to life… Meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning. Life only makes sense when you perceive it as mystery and it makes no sense to the conceptualizing mind.”
-Anthony de Mello
