“When you have an emotional reaction to what you see, you are judging. That is your signal that you have an issue inside of yourself - with yourself - not with the other person.

― Gary Zukav, Soul to Soul: Communications from the Heart

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”
