But this shows how through constant familiarity and thinking, we ourselves can make our emotions more intense and powerful.I hope one of these quotes tickles you today in a way that brings a new lightness into your life. Of course, the same can apply to when we have an attachment towards a particular person we can feed that by thinking about how beautiful he or she is, and as we keep thinking about the projected qualities that we see in the person, the attachment becomes more and more intense. It makes the hatred very powerful and intense. However, if we think about the projected injustices done to us, the ways in which we have been unfairly treated, and we keep on thinking about them over and over, then that feeds the hatred. For instance when we have anger or hatred towards a person, there is less likelihood of its developing to a very intense degree if we leave it unattended.

I feel optimistic that the ancient values that have sustained mankind are reaffirming themselves today, preparing the way for a better, happier twenty-first century. We must cultivate a universal responsibility toward each other and extend it to the planet that we have to share. To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle. He is also the longest lived incumbent gifting words of motivation as well as guidance that help to revolutionize peoples’ lives. These problems can be resolved thanks to human efforts, by understanding that we are brothers and sisters and by developing this sense of fraternity. Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace. Dalai Lama is the 14 th and current Dalai Lama, the head parson of the Gelugpa ancestry of Tibetan Buddhism. The problems that confront us today are created by man, whether they are violent conflicts, destruction of the environment, poverty, or hunger. As human beings, we all want to be free, to have the right to decide our own destiny as individuals as well as the destiny of our people. We all have essentially the same needs and similar concerns.
