Self-cherishing Attitude

As all problems arise from the self-cherishing attitude, it would be wise for each of us, as individuals, to exert ourselves to subdue it. World peace doesn’t come from winning a war, nor can it be legislated. Peace comes through each person eliminating his or her own selfishness and developing a kind heart…we can each do our part beginning today. The beneficial result in our own lives will immediately be evident.
