Be suspicious of what you want.

If you are lugging a heavy bag,
do not fail to look inside it
to see whether what is inside is bitter or sweet.

If it is really worth bringing along, bring it;
otherwise, empty your sack
and redeem yourself from fruitless effort.

Only put into your sack
that which is worth bringing.


—Rumi

We are one, after all, you and I.

Together we suffer, together exist, 

and forever will recreate each other.
