---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----

"Any organisation or social system will begin to degenerate, grow corrupt, and eventually self-destruct when its leaders lose sight of the original purpose, become self-centred and lazy, and seek ease and personal gain. Without a human revolution that triumphs over the negative forces that are inherent within the human heart, a country or an organisation -- no matter how strong and flourishing it may be for a time -- will reach an impasse. As Nichiren Daishonin writes: 'Only worms born of the lion's body feed on the lion' (WND-1, 302). The causes for destruction reside within organisations and other bodies, which are liable to be destroyed by the 'enemy within' inherent in the human condition."
