“Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part. Like a thread in a cloth or a grass-blade in a field. It is and we are. What we do is like wind blowing on the grass.” IfsKnowsDoeMatterPurposeUniverseOur LivesFieldsWindMachinesFunctionGrassThreadGalaxyBladesWind Blowing Author:Ursula K. Le Guin
“When we suddenly awake to the realization that there is no barrier, and never has been, one realizes that one is all things mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, sun, moon, stars, universe are all oneself. There is no longer a division or barrier between myself and others, no longer any feeling of alienation or fear there is nothing apart from oneself and therefore nothing to fear. Realizing this results in true compassion. Other people and things are not seen as apart from oneself but, on the contrary, as one's own body.” PeopleHas BeensFeelingsBodyUniverseStarsRealizingResultsCompassionSunTreeMoonMountainAll ThingsRiversOneselfContraryRealizationGrassAwakeBarriersDivisionAlienationSun Moon Author:Bruce Lee
