Quote of the Morning

“The evil impulse is the same as the non-loving impulse. Or the non-charity impulse. That at some point I won’t touch you. You are an untouchable. And only untouchables can be killed. And the history of evil is the history of killing untouchables. Tonglen is fundamentally a practice of touching all of those, fundamentally not turning away from them. And then on a relative plane that’s fine. Some things are wrong on a relative plane. With love in your heart, if you meet Hitler blow his fucking brains out. Smiling, smiling. But you see the difference, fundamental not turning away from a human being is very, very important” – Ken Wilber
