Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside, you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing..... You must speak to it till your voice catches the thread of all sorrrows and you see the size of the cloth. Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore.

Your mind is like a spoiled rich kid! You have raised it to think whatever it wants, whenever it wants to and for however long, with no regard for consequences or gratitude....So when a thought arises, just watch it,; don't react to it.
"Oh I really want ice cream"...that's nice, see what it's like to want something but not always get it.
