“I often say that we should eliminate the notion of ‘them’. ‘We’ should be enough; the whole world is part of ‘us’. This isn’t some kind of old-fashioned way of thinking, or an altruistic forgetting of your own interests. I want happiness and in order to achieve that, I need you.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
