I know some of you are, thinking, maybe I deserved it. But before you start pointing fingers, let me ask you. Is what I did really so bad? So bad I deserved to die?

Idolatry is permissible in Hinduism when it sub serves an ideal. ~Mahatma Gandhi
#quotes #mahatma-gandhi #hinduism #idolatry

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. It turns problems into gifts, failures into successes, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. It can turn an existence into a real life, and disconnected situations into important and beneficial lessons. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Gratitude makes things right. ~Melody Beattie

Friendship is not how long we have been together; not how much we have given or received; not how many times we have helped each other; it is how we value each other.

We live through books; we have adventures in them, we lead alternative lives through them. We expand our memories through them. And that sometimes art can offer us more intense experiences of the world than life itself can. ~Anthony Doerr
