QUOTE
“The myth of separateness is very convincing. Even though it causes us to enormous pain, it’s definitely not easy to take.

“Imagining ourselves in another person’s situation shakes up our indifference. We begin to realize that in joy and sorrow we are equals. Our suffering and happiness are the same: misery is misery and joy is joy; therefore, whether we feel sorrow or relief, we understand how others feel.”
– From No Time to Lose by Pema Chodron
