Thought of the month:
" Because we all share a wish for happiness and an identical need for love, it is possible to feel that
anyone we meet, in whatever circumstances, is a brother or sister. We do not need to become religious;
nor do we need to believe in an ideology. I believe that at every level of society the key to a happier and
more successful world is the growth of compassion."
--- Dalai Lama
