"The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it, put
your whole soul into it - every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have."
John D. Rockefeller III
Art is food. You can't eat it, but it feeds you.

Dalai Lama We can teach ourselves to be more aware of our own mutual dependence. As every living being wants happiness instead of pain, we share a common basic feeling. We can develop right action to help the earth and each other based on a better motivation. When we are motivated by wisdom and compassion, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience.
“When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college—that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared at me, incredulous, and said, ‘You mean they forget?’”
