“It is undeniably easier to ignore the hardships of those who are too weak to demand their rights than to respond sensitively to their needs. To care is to accept responsibility, to dare to act in accordance with the dictum that the ruler is the strength of the helpless.” NeedsCareResponsibilityAcceptingRightsEasierDemandWeakDareHardshipRulersHelpless Author:Aung San Suu Kyi
“Heartbreak is our indication of sincerity: in a love relationship, in a work, in trying to learn a musical instrument, in the attempt to shape a better more generous self. Heartbreak is the beautifully helpless side of love and affection and is just as much an essence and emblem of care as the spiritual athlete's quick but abstract ability to let go... But heartbreak may be the very essence of being human, of being on the journey from here to there, and of coming to care deeply for what we find along the way.” WayTryingHumansMaySelfCareSpiritualSidesAbilityJourneyShapesLetting GoEssenceInstrumentsMusicalAthleteAffectionGenerousAbstractSincerityHelplessBeing HumanIndicationLove RelationshipEmblemsMusical InstrumentsLove And Affection Author:David Whyte
