““As humans on earth, we keep screwing up ourselves without even realizing it. To get some temporary solace, we keep creating churches and prayers without thinking that we are responsible for our problems. We would not take ownership of our responsibilities. When we constantly defecates, we ask God to clean it up for us. How is that possible? To borrow a quote from Dalai Lama-" happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions". if we develop a good heart, real appreciation, love and compassion for others, our life will improve. It is that simple and easy!-””
