| Quote of the moment |
| To be angry at hearing other people speaking highly of one's enemies is totally inappropriate, because at least in the mind of the person who is praising this enemy, there is some sense of fulfillment, some satisfaction. That person is doing so because he or she feels joyous and happy, and one should rejoice in that because one's enemy has caused someone to be satisfied. If possible one should also join in the praise rather than trying to obstruct it. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, November 15, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |

| In the case of making bombs, the people involved are specialists. They are focusing on something very narrow and becoming extremely expert in that area, without seeing the broader consequences of their acts. It is a kind of tunnel vision. As long as they focus on that, the self-deception is supported. From the exploitist's viewpoint, this is a great achievement. In their own right, in their own domain, they are doing something extraordinary. |
