~~~
(pentax k1000, kodak ektar 100, ISO 400)

the words of Buddha:

~Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned~


~In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves~


~Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle,
and the life of the candle will not be shortened.
Happiness never decreases by being shared~


~The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles
but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly~


~To understand everything is to forgive everything~
