"I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance. People inflict pain on others in the selfish pursuit of their happiness or satisfaction. Yet true happiness comes from a sense of peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved through the cultivation of altruism, of love and compassion, and elimination of ignorance, selfishness, and greed." - His Holiness the Dalai Lama
sometimes, i find it difficult to live these words... when someone you love shuts you out and cuts you off... finding any peace is fleeting... finding contentment seems impossible.
sometimes, i find it difficult to know my own selfishness. but, knowing the suffering is easy. it is the greatest suffering to miss someones' presence in your life.
