“In the end, all any of these religions aim to do is give us hope. The main difference with Buddhism is that it aims to teach us to find hope from within ourselves, rather than seeking outside advice or saviors. It tells us that only we can help ourselves. It’s existentialist in that way, and shockingly modern.”

“Know what you can change from what you can’t, and you’ll live a happier, more peaceful life. This view is not pessimistic—it is pragmatic. It acknowledges that the world is a difficult and complicated place to live in. The more you view the world as a harsh and unforgiving, the more defeated you will feel. The more you view the world as friendly and safe, the more naïve you will be.   See it as it really is. Don’t kid yourself or others. Don’t judge other people based on standards you invented—accept them for who they are.”
