On point
clears drops cut short!
Patience is not silence, but speaking
and acting at the
right time
with a calm mind, in a right, kind, gentle and unharmful way.
Generosity is not giving everything you have or spending
all of your time for the benefit of others, but not keeping
your mind hanging onto what you temporarily have on
loan.
Compassion is not putting yourself into trouble,
but taking others out of trouble.
