what is my purpose in life, what is my responsibility?
whether I like it or not, I am on this planet
and it is far better to do something for humanity.
so you see that compassion is the seed or basis.
If we take care to foster compassion,
we will see that it brings the other good human qualities.
the topic of compassion is not at all religious business;
it is very important to know that it is human business
that it is a question of human survival
that is not a question of human luxury....
It is clear that even without religion we can manage.
However, without these basic human qualities we cannot survive.
It is a question of our own peace and mental stability.
