"It's a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and to find at the end one has no more to offer by way of advice than 'Try to be a bit kinder'"-- Aldous Huxley, quoted in Pico Iyer's "The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama"

I love that quote! Great post. It reminds me of Yogi Berra quote. Blunt, factual and to the point in an explanatory way. "Kindness" is such an extraordinary thing, it seems sometimes that there is not much of it left in the world.
But it sums it all up - its simplicity is the essence.
i love this. having come to know you on-line a little, i wonder if you've read- ten thousand miles w.o a cloud- it's the sort of book i think you would adore. x shayma
