We have all known the long loneliness
and we have learned that
the only solution is love and
that love comes with community.
--Dorothy Day
We are social creatures, dependent on our community. And as members of a community, even people with no spiritual interest will find peace of mind in being considerate, truthful and honest. Being honest and compassionate are not necessarily religious qualities, but they contribute to our being able to lead happy lives. Being concerned about our own community lends to our own survival. The key factor is compassion. Anger is its opposite. Anger destroys happiness and harmony. We need a sense of the oneness of humanity.
--Dalai Lama
