Life is a continuity always and always.

If you live in fear of losing your stuff and money,
it is clear that they own you.

is the most terrible poverty.

relating to each other, but not tied in any relationship.

but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.
- Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)

The only way to store information is by agreement.
The belief system is like a Book of Law that rules our mind.

but we cannot accept and love ourselves.
- don Miguel Ruiz

Being human, we are imperfect. That's why we need each other.
To catch each other when we falter.
To encourage each other when we lose heart.
