Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to have woken up. I am alive. I have a precious human life. I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others, to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others. I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.

I became very shy at school. It laid some very heavy inhibitions on me. I wasn’t exactly bullied, but there were people who picked on me and gave me a very hard time. I was very thin, and younger than most in my class, so I was rather like the runt of the litter. I’d get hit occasionally, but nothing that heavy. And I never fought back.

I was aware of a lot of my friends being into things that I wasn’t into. Like sarcasm. It had never been a part of my family – they still don’t use sarcasm. I don’t actually think it’s nice. I think sarcasm is a very cheap and negative way of trying to get laughs and make yourself superior.

“But then the Roman Empire fell like this- “oh shit”. And we went into
what the historians called the Stupid Fucker period. Where everyone
was going -“er, I dunno. Is that a Roman road? Can we eat it?” Then
there was the dark Ages. ” I can’t even see you! Where are you?”“

But if you do not find an intelligent companion, a wise and well-behaved person going the same way as yourself, then go on your way alone, like a king abandoning a conquered kingdom, or like a great elephant in the deep forest.
