calmThis one word “awareness” is the source of all wonders. Because of delusion concerning this awareness, the marks of self arise. When it is assumed that there is ”I” or “mine,” liking and disliking automatically appear.

Profound statement; reminiscient of my conversation with Vic during lunch last week.
It descended upon me at the oddest location (with the oddest ambience) that no one is intrinsically bad, and when we sees others with a tinge of goodness it draws out even more goodness from the other party. No one is really bad for bad's sake, right?
As I continue to evolve, let me try to see the world without colours.
It's not easty to constantly see the good in people, but it's an experience. Good luck.
