“A man at any given time in his life, lives as three beings,not one despite them sharing all sharing a name. Those being reside in the hearts and minds of others, Those who knew him as he once was, Those who knew as he is, and those that know him as he is going to be.”
“Greed is born from the moment we look at those above us to see if we have as much as them, whereas compassion and altruism is born from the moment we look at those beneath us to make sure they have as much as us.”
