I find that because of modern technological evolution and our global economy, and as a result of the great increase in population, our world has greatly changed: it has become much smaller. However, our perceptions have not evolved at the same pace we continue to cling to old national demarcations and the old feelings of 'us' and 'them'.

Since love and compassion and similar qualities all, by definition, presume some level of concern for others' well-being, they presume ethical restraint. We cannot be loving and compassionate unless at the same time we curb our own harmful impulses and desires.

The 20th century was the century of war and blood. The 21st century is the century of dialogue.
Dalai Lama

I believe that at every level of society the key to a happier world is the growth of compassion. We do not need to become religious, nor do we need to believe in an ideology. All that is necessary is for each of us to develop our good human qualities.
Dalai Lama
Image
Our visit to this planet is short, so we should use our time meaningfully, which we can do by helping others wherever possible. And if we cannot help others, at least we should try not to create pain and suffering for them.
Dalai Lama

Your friend, your enemy, your neutral all are equal. Genuine compassion is unbiased.
Dalai Lama

The essence of any religion is good heart. Sometimes I call love and compassion a universal religion. This is my religion.

Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future.
