I think there's a lot to that, really. I also think that to the degree we are of self-absorption, just to being so self-absorbed. In the Buddhist teachings that I've studied, and granted, there are different schools that have Buddhism, I suppose. And the one I'm most familiar with is the Tibetan Buddhist teachings. And that's all about the intention to benefit others.

And I'm sure you've experienced this. When you've done something to benefit someone else and you see that joy or you just are aware of how that benefit has been meaningful to somebody else, that gets you. I think serves that purpose that you were saying people are missing. What do you think?

I think that touches on something that is a real fundamental truth in the studies that I've done is just about interdependence, which isn't unique to Buddhism. We can see it in nature, right? Everything is interdependent. We can't grow things without the sun or the proper soil or the right conditions or the right temperature, right?

in our lives we are we've become so disconnected to even taking care of ourselves the electricity that lights our homes the fuel that heats them the clothes we're wearing the food that we pick up from the grocery store everything that sustains us is independence on others that we don't even know talk about the kindness of strangers that we don't know, that really inspires gratitude in ourselves.

And that also serves to bring to mind that we're not isolated. We're not living, no matter how independent we think we are, we're not. And I think that sometimes that experience of gratitude really helps open that heart to feeling that connection a little bit more.

And each one of us has the potential to develop further and to cultivate our ability to bring more compassion into the world around us to extend that kindness to people who are strangers to us and his presence is pretty pretty remarkable and i do sense that he really seeks to remind everyone of their that kindness What does he say? There's a quote of his that might be appropriate.
