True love should be transformative


a process that amplifies our capacity to cherish not just one person but all people.


It can make us stronger, lift us higher and deepen us as individuals. Only to the extent that one polishes oneself now can one hope to develop wonderful bonds of the heart in the future.

Each person possesses a precious inner treasure of infinite worth.



To remain unaware of this and stumble about in spiritual poverty is a tragic waste. In contrast, a person fully awakened to the jewel-like dignity of their own life is capable of truly respecting that treasure in others.

The courage not to bow to pressure,



 
the courage to stand alone,
the courage to maintain one’s determination,
the courage to look deep into one’s heart and confront one’s own cowardice and arrogance,
the courage to challenge difficulties—those who possess this kind of courage are true victors.
