Food for Thought and Life

“Only those who have a real and lasting sense of abundance CAN be truly charitable. To the ego, to give anything implies that you will do without it. When you associate giving with sacrifice, then, you give only because you believe that you are somehow getting something better so you can do without the thing you give. 'Giving to get' is an inescapable law of the ego.”

―A Course in Miracles
 
“I yearn to be free of pain, but rush straight into it;
I long for happiness, but foolishly crush it like an enemy.”

―Shantideva
 
“Modern man has an insatiable thirst for the gifts of God, but is blind to His Presence. Instead he perceives only the objects of his lusts, breeding through them a world of concupiscence, exploitation, commodification and wanton consumption—a world in which desire is reduced to the need for the instant gratification of individual wants and cravings, and the indulging of personal appetites.”

―Ali M. Lakhani
 
"We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistake"

―Gene Roddenberry
