“Unless you see your nature, you shouldn't go around criticizing the goodness of others. There's no advantage in deceiving yourself. Good and bad are distinct. Cause and effect are clear. But fools don't believe and fall straight into a hell of endless darkness without even knowing it. What keeps them from believing is the heaviness of their karma. They're like blind people who don't believe there's such a thing as light. Even if you explain it to them, they still don't believe, because they're blind. How can they possibly distinguish light?” PeopleIfsBelieveStillsLightFallCausesDarknessHellKnowingClearEffectsFoolGoodnessAdvantageBlindDon't BelieveKarmaEndlessCriticizeDeceivingGood And BadCause And EffectHeavinessBlind PeopleDeceiving Yourself Author:Bodhidharma

“I fell in love. It felt exactly like a fall, a head-over-heels tumble into a state of unbearable lightness. The earth tilted on its axis.

Suddenly, my heart seemed swollen, too large for my chest.” ThinkingBelieveHumansHeartStatesEarthFallFeltCenturyPoetMy HeartGoodnessInventionChestsItalianHeelsRomantic LoveConstructsUnbearableLightnessAxesUnpreparedSwollenUnbearable LightnessHead Over Heels Book:What's So Amazing about Grace?
