Quote by Eckhart Tolle

“Somebody becomes an enemy if you personalize the unconsciousness that is the ego. Non-reaction is not weakness but strength. Another word for non-reaction is forgiveness. To forgive is to overlook, or rather to look through. You look through the ego to the sanity that is in every human being as his or her essence.”

So it had been a very special moment, and I was sorry to think that it had been wasted on just the two of us.”
