Olive 5

If everyone in the world focussed on just themselves would there be conflict? So much of conflicts throughout history has been caused by external feelings cast upon others. If everyone just focussed on themselves, and nourished the light within themselves, wouldn't we all shine brighter? That goes for philanthropy too - because when you rely on others for happiness, you run a very high risk of heart break, and if you spend your life trying to give light to others that could be used to ignite your own, then everyone just walks around as a dull, unreliable, flicker of a flame that is more vulnerable to a gentle breeze than a roaring fire.
