O not preoccupy yourself with wants or expectations. The world won't abide by the standards, you set in any case, whether you set them too low or too high. It will break them every time for the simple fact that our true essence has no desire, hope or expectation for anything. It has no selfish inclinations of any kind. Everything, it experiences, is a passing phase, not its real identity. Anonymous
About This Quote

Everything that we experience in life is a passing phase that has no lasting significance. There is no selfishness or greed in this world. Anything that we take pleasure in is a passing phase and will eventually give way to another passing phase. The more we attach ourselves to any particular thing, the more pain we will experience when it passes away.
