Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand
― Hayley Williams

I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear.

-Rosa Parks

What labels me, negates me.
― Soren Kierkegaard

The challenge of modernity is to live without illusions and without becoming disillusioned

#Gramsci

As Hegel said, tragedy was not the conflict between right and wrong but right and right , a dilemma none of us who wanted participate in history could escape.

"Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts" - Buddha

“The weak can never forgive; forgiveness is the attribute of strong”

Once the Buddha was sitting under a tree talking to his disciples when a man came and spat in his face.

Buddha wiped it off and asked the man, “What next? What do you want to say next?” The man was a little puzzled because he himself never expected that when you spit on somebody’s face they would ask, “What next?”

When Buddha did not react or say anything, and just smiled, this man could not sleep the whole night. The next day he came and fell at Buddha’s feet and said, “Please pardon me, I don’t know what I did.”


The anecdote highlights the value of forgiveness, how it can lead to intrinsic transformation, transform hate into love and spread mutual respect.

You may contrast it with feeling of revenge/ consequence of violent actions which are only harmful in the long run. E.g. Honour killings, caste violence etc.
