"Where is there hide to cover the whole world? The wide world can be covered with hide enough for a pair of shoes alone."
-- Santideva, The Bodhicaryavatara, chapter 5 verse 13.
The world is full of terrible terrain. But instead of wallpapering the world with leather so that it would be safe to walk on, wrap the leather around your feet as shoes instead.
You cannot fix the world. You can only fix yourself.
Enlightenment.
The Edna Man
