to be at peace
is to create peace.

the secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.

~Buddha

--------
he who recieves kindness should never forget it; but he who performs it should never remember it.


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.
