There is an upward pull in all of us and there is also a downward pull. And I know that the religions and the societies and so on try to tell you what to do. But you don’t need to be told if you just try to listen and watch your own nature. When you try to hurt somebody, you feel hurt. When you’re jealous or selfish, you feel hurt. When you don’t live according to your own highest expectations of yourself, you’re the one who suffers.
