we are so disconnected in our society it's such a crazy concept that people don't correlate a piece of chicken on their plate to an animal that was once running around freely?

[Alyssa @lyssc1129]

You do not suffer because things are impermanent. You suffer because things are impermanent and you think they are permanent.

“Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear…are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They’re like messengers that tell us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck.”

[Krishna Dharma @KrishnaDharma]

Two things you should never worry about; what you can control, and what you can't.

Sensitivity may feel like your weakness but it’s really your strength.

Suffering is latching onto objects, leaning onto things.
Freedom is standing in my own awareness.
