Our Prime Purpose

 

“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.”

Dalai Lama

Liars

“Lies are often much more plausible, more appealing to reason, than reality, since the liar has the great advantage of knowing beforehand what the audience wishes or expects to hear.”

Hannah Arendt, Crises of the Republic (1972)

The Wilderness

“What sets the wilderness apart in the modern way is not that it is dangerous (it’s almost certainly safer than any town or road) or that it’s solitary (you can, so they say, be alone in a crowded room) or full of exotic animals (there are more in the zoo).  It’s that five miles out in the woods you can’t buy anything.”

Bill McKibben

Ecologist b 1960

The Happiness of Another

“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.”

Stranger in a Strange Land

Robert Anson Heinlein

ROOT OF ALL EVIL

“For the love of money is the root of all evil; and while some have coveted after it, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But as for you, O man of God, flee from all these things; aim at and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness and gentleness of heart."

1Timothy 6:10-11

LOVE

“Love of God: to know God is to love him and to trust in his direction.”

“God looks over us with love and compassion and also gives forgiveness when true contrition is seen to be done.”

“It is love that leads me into the light and allows me to let go and follow love.”

“The love that cannot comprehend darkness; it is a love beyond ourselves.”
