When we have anger in us, we suffer. when we have discrimination in us, we suffer. when we have the complex of superiority, we suffer. when we have the complex of inferiority, we suffer also. so when we are capable of transforming these negative things in us, we are free and happiness is possible.

More From Nhat Hanh

We have a lot more work to do in our common struggle against bigotry and discrimination. i say "common struggle" because i believe very strongly that all forms of bigotry and discrimination are equally wrong and should be opposed by right-thinking americans everywhere. freedom from discrimination based on sexual orientation is surely a fundamental human right in any great democracy, as much as freedom from racial, religious, gender, or ethnic discrimination.

Evil Cooperation Moral
There is just as much evil in all of us as there is good. we're all continuously guilty, even if we're not doing it intentionally to be evil. here we are sitting in luxury hotels, living it up on the the backs of others in the third world. we all have a guilty conscience, but we do very little about it.
