We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart.

Life is not inherently meaningful. We make meaning happen through the attention and care we express through our actions.  – Donna Farhi

If we believe in the rebirth of our civilization… then clearly this renaissance must begin in the chambers of our own hearts… We cannot wait for society to change, or for our institutions to be renewed. We, as individuals, must assume responsibility for our own personal transformation.  – Georg Feuerstein
