“Patience is the antidote to the restless poison of the Ego. Without it we all become ego-maniacal bulls in china shops, destroying our future happiness as we blindly rush in where angels fear to tread.

Competition would be left on the playing field, and your freedom from what other people think about you would light the pathway out of hell.”
