Your worst enemy cannot harm you
as much as your own thoughts, unguarded.
But once mastered,
no one can help you as much,
not even your father or your mother.
— The Buddha

Thank you. It is indeed the real truth. When one comes of age, one realises the gem in this statement. My challenge – how do we help convey this truth to future generations? For it is only with true understanding that one will be able to get on the right path, life after life.
