“Do you think you help people because you are in love with them? Well, I’ve got news for you. You are never in love with anyone.

“You want to hope for something better than what you have right now, don’t you? Otherwise you wouldn’t be hoping. But then, you forget that you have it all right now anyway, and you don’t know it. Why not concentrate on the now instead of hoping for better times in the future? Why not understand the now instead of forgetting it and hoping for the future? Isn’t the future just another trap?”
― Anthony de Mello, Awareness
