The Blooming of a Lotus
Exposed to violence...
Thich Nhat Hanh
“We
are often exposed,if not first hand, then through films, reading
material, and conversations, to violence, fear, hatred, meaningless
infatuations.Society is full of violence and hatred, which accumulates
in the collective consciousness. If in our daily lives we do not know
now to abstain from damaging materials and attitudes, the seeds of
violence, hatred and suffering in us will continue to be watered. We
need to be aware of what we hear,see, and read every day… Do our
associations and consumptions poison us?”
