What Good Is It?

Many of the concepts I share with you - kindness, tolerance, understanding, effort, non-judgment - aren't revolutionary discoveries. They're simple truths you've probably known since childhood.

Yesterday, I caught myself judging someone harshly for a minor mistake. The very thing I often write about avoiding. These moments remind me why we need daily philosophical practice. Daily repetition.
