to maintain it is really difficult,
because you are doing something against nature.
- Osho

is your own happiness.
Unconditional universal forgiveness is
the key to your own happiness.

Everyone has an opinion on many subjects
and is ready to share those opinions -
labeling them as "truth."
Sometimes it is relatively easy
to filter out these opinions.
Upon hearing an ad for the latest
weight-loss powder on late-night TV,

However, if we have heard the same opinion for years
from our parents, friends,

we are more likely to believe without questioning
than to raise our filter of skepticism
and ask the hard questions.

and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
