Moment of Silence

Readings/Teaching: Michael DeWilde

Morality binds people into groups. It gives us tribalism, it gives us genocide, war, and politics. But it also gives us heroism, altruism, and sainthood. – Jonathan Haidt

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
– Buddha

I’m very mild,
I’m very meek, My will is strong, but my won’t is weak.
Cole Porter
