You don’t need to find something that will make you well. You only need your stop doing something that will make you sick.

Michael Singer

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. All the do-gooders in the world whether they’re doing good for others or for themselves are troublemakers: on the basis of “kindly let me help you or you will drown”, said the monkey putting the fish safely up a tree.

Eknarh Easwaran

Memory clouds perception.
