Compassionate Toward Yourself

Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.
―     Lao Tzu
[I find the struggle to be “compassionate toward yourself” to be a lifetime objective.   I guess that’s just the cowboy in me.    —    kmab]

A Mother’s Lesson

Although my mother didn’t know anything about science, she had a great influence on me as well.  In particular, she had a wonderful sense of humor, and I learned from her that the highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.
—    Richard P. Feynman
From his book:  “What Do You Care What Other People Think?“
