I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.                                                                         Henry David Thoreau

 As long as one person on this earth suffers, you suffer, too, or there's no validity in living in a place like this.  We did not come here to find the rarefied atmosphere that removes us from the suffering of the world.  We came here to experience the suffering of the whole world in our hearts.
