---DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT---
The German poet Heinrich Heine (1797 1856) wrote: "One is noble / If one nobly feels and acts." Neither social status nor wealth is any measure of a person's true worth; nor should we ever judge people by such criteria. For example, does being a government figure make a person special? Not at all. Government leaders are human beings just like the rest of us, and in a democracy, inparticular, the people are sovereign. Government figures exist to serve the people. It is a person's actions that count.
--- DAILY GOSHO ---
"Karma also may be divided into two categories: fixed and unfixed. Sincere repentance will eradicate even fixed karma, to say nothing of karma that is unfixed."
