General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

YOUR SUNDAY MOMENTOF ZEN

 



"The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections."-- John Dalberg-Acton

What is in our control is only ourselves.

The desire to control others stems from the ego's need to validate itself.

Control brings neither peace, happiness, or harmony.

The need to control others is the cause of much unhappiness.

Life is for living. Not controlling.

Great joy is found in the acceptance of all others.

Love, life's most precious energy, is the only thing that can save humanity.

Let go, let be, and embrace that which is.

Relinquish the desire for control and the ego fixation that drives it.

Continuing to walk the same path while expecting different results is:

INSANITY
