It seems to me that you are living in a constant state of tension, in an atmosphere of never-ending competitiveness and fear. And those who are brought up in such an atmosphere will find themselves lacking all their lives: they will not know that wonderful quality of depth and intimacy that is the richness of life. They will stay on the surface of the troubled sea, without ever knowing the calm that lies beneath. —His Holiness the Dalai Lama, <i> The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace: The Essential Life and Teachings</i>
