My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.

What I love is the embodiment of my values in another person. Love is an act of self-assertion, self-expression and a celebration of being alive.
