I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong.

When it comes to judging individuals, I do not like remarks such as 'too good to be true.' They speak as though one is rewarding the nature of evil. Yet, ironically, we still wonder where all the good people have gone.
Criss Jami
Grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something forgiveness, however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on
Criss Jami
Man was created to glorify God. Now, that may encompass other things which God has planned for each man, but essentially, man was created to glorify God.
Criss Jami
Everything at some point has been declared the root of all evil.
