| THURMAN: Since this ignorance [which makes us fight each other for selfish goals] is based on an illusion, it is weaker than the wisdom that sees that we are interconnected with everything. When we know this, others' feelings become our feelings, their wish for happiness become ours, and all this connectedness becomes mutually positive. | |||
