Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away

There was a hermit who saw a scorpion floundering in the water.He tried to save it by stretching out his palm,but the scorpion stung him.The hermit still tried to get the scorpion out of the water,but the scorpion stung him again.Someone nearby asked him to give up as the scorpion was hurting him.but the sagelyman said,"by nature scorpions sting and to me love comes naturally.Why should i give up my nature?"
Do not give up loving.Do not give up your goodness,even if people around you sting
