“I was just reflecting on the nature of Metta…”
“In Buddhism it’s like this: Whatever we think about, that’s what we become. Why are we so angry? That’s because we are always thinking something horrible, something nasty, something painful, something distressing. If we learn to think something that’s positive, life-generating, instead of self-destructive, then we are also going to behave that way.”
