“Tonight, the news debated the intelligence of a bear. And it got my wondering why humanity rewards itself for passing tests that we create. And that got me wondering why we care. I've studied enough wars to know that the intelligence of the target isn't on the mind of the person with the gun.

“We humans have existed in our present form for about a hundred thousand years. I believe that if during this time the human mind had been primarily controlled by anger and hatred, our overall population would have decreased. But today, despite all our wars, we find that the human population is greater than ever. This clearly indicates to me that love and compassion predominate in the world. And this is why unpleasant events are "news"; compassionate activities are so much a part of daily life that they are taken for granted and , therefore, largely ignored.” IfsWorldYearsMindBelieveHumansWarTodayFormI BelieveCompassionTakenGreaterEventsThousandActivityNewsHundredHatredPopulationDespiteBuddhistGrantedDaily LifeHuman MindControlledCompassionateThousand YearsIgnoredLove And CompassionTaken For GrantedHuman Population Author:Dalai Lama
