everything is about kindness and compassion!!! civilisation is marked by a perfectly healed femur. someone - perhaps everyone - must have cared for this person, kept them safe and warm and fed while they recovered. everything is about kindness

The first thought of the day.
"The best way to begin each day well is to think upon awakening whether we could not give at least one person pleasure on this day. If this practice could be accepted as a substitute for the religious habit of prayer, our fellow men would benefit by this change."
-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

The Spiral of Healing ✿
Siddhartha: "What now, oh Govinda, might we be on the right path? Might we get closer to enlightenment? Might we get closer to salvation? Or do we perhaps live in a circle— we, who have thought to escape from the cycle?"
Govinda said: "We have learned much, Siddhartha, there still remains much to learn. We are not going in circles, we are going upwards, the path is a spiral, we have already climbed many steps."
Hermann Hesse - Siddhartha
