8/11

How lamentable it is to be trapped by ignorance—to have neither the capacity nor knowledge to break free of our own impulses and our natural mode of thought.

If we suffer, we will continue to suffer.

If we are unable to be happy, we will continue to be unhappy.

If we inflict suffering on others, we will continue to inflict suffering.

It is a game of simply waiting, to merely drift around in the world, tugged by our circumstances until they decide to lay perfectly to our favor—to help us realize a change and the value of a change.
