We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it's not the events that matter most to us, but rather, it's how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.
It's not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
The environment that we call society is created by past generations; we accept it, as it helps us to maintain our greed, possessiveness, illusion.
I think that its easy to think of the environment as all doom and gloom and that, 'What can we do, it's too late. And the polar bears are gone, and everything is gone.' But really, just the little steps that we can make as individuals make a big difference.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.

Our challenge for the future is that we realize we are very much a part of the earth's ecosystem, and we must learn to respect and live according to the basic biological laws of nature.
We are eternally linked not just to each other but our environment.
And I think that the environment is one very strong way to counterbalance the chaotic nature of our life.
