Quotes from Richard Brancatisano

I try not to think in terms of good and bad but more in terms of helpful or unhelpful in regards to specific moral codes and goals.

Knowing that a paradox is required for life as we know it to exist allows me to give up trying constantly to understand it and instead just feel it and enjoy it.

I am still learning and experiencing things and feel like I cannot state a truth. So I guess one truth I know for sure is that I cannot state one. A paradox.

What is truth? I think stating a truth could be dangerous, because we are locking something in and therefore making it harder for ourselves to change beyond that certain thought or concept.

It's difficult to change, because I have to admit that I have been previously living in a less compassionate and loving way. Sometimes we just want to be right instead of fully conscious.

I try to make sure I have a helpful perspective so when emotional pain comes up, it doesn't get out of hand.
