| BkII:17.III.2 | All human experiences on Earth are similar—never the same, but always similar. This is because you are all alike, though not identical. The life of a bird is how the experience of a bird should be. The same happens with trees, and within this, the particular experiences of each species. Some experience cold and snow, others the heat of deserts or the exuberance of the jungle. To believe that the life of your brothers or sisters is different from yours is to focus only on the surface. Look a little deeper, as you now can, and you will calmly observe that everything is the same. Brother, sister, there is nothing new under the sun. Enjoy this truth. |
