Has your life ever treated you badly? So badly that you just want to give up everything, perhaps even your life? Born and have been living in fully developed countries, my despair is no where near to the sufferings of the elsewhere.
Even with all the “good enough” life, some times I run into this damn thing called “despair.” Probably you do too. My survival tactics for this is to recite my daily mantra. Instead of “Om Mani Padme Hum” which my fellow Buddhists recite, I picked up a line from one of Stephen King’s popular novel, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption.
Remember that hope is a good thing, Red, may be the best of things,
and no good thing ever dies.
