People create distinctions out of their own minds

In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west. People create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.  Buddha 




 People can create lots of boundaries, many shades of separation and distinction. Many people create these little boxes of'perfection' in their lives, of right and wrong, good and bad, their way or the highway. 


We all like to think that we are right, that we've realized the true path, the correct way to live and think. The proper way to handle situations and treat other people. 


 The criminal justice system is a perfect example of an entity doling out decisions based on a pre set value system of right/wrong, good/bad, breaking mandated laws (those laws which are deemed to be fair and just according to a group of individuals).


 Airplanes would have difficulty safely navigating the open skies without compass direction, and the streets wouldn't be as safe without legal authority enforcing (deemed) wrong behavior. 


Yet, an artist or composer wouldn't be able to create an outstanding masterpiece if his or her mind was caught up in the 'separation' existence of reality. 




A Mother can offer her child the hope of a boundless future with limitless vision.




Your outlook, your inner reality, is your choice - your belief, your creation!
