It has been said: wherever you go, there you are. In other words: you are here. Always. Is it so hard to accept that? (Ch 6) - Eckhart Tolle

Don't seek happiness. If you seek it, you won't find it, because seeking is the antithesis of happiness.

How quick we are to form an opinion of a person, to come to a conclusion about them. It is satisfying to the egoic mind to label another human being, to give them a conceptual identity, to pronounce righteous judgment upon them.

...the ego's need to be periodically in conflict with something or someone in order to strengthen its sense of separation between me and the other, without which it cannot survive. (Ch 8)
