We can choose between ordsprog

We can choose between the future and the past, between reason and ignorance, between true compassion and mere ideology.

People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone.

[Hawks coach Mike Woodson refuted a report that Walker is not part of the Hawks' future plans.] That's not true, ... They didn't hear that out of our camp. We can't sit here and say he's not in our future plans, because the reason he's here is because he's in our future.

The foundation of the Buddha's teachings lies in compassion, and the reason for practicing the teachings is to wipe out the persistence of ego, the number-one enemy of compassion.
