Scrapper Blackwell - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Scrapper Blackwell - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

ENLARGE YOUR HEART!

HOW LARGE IS YOUR HEART? The practice of inclusiveness is based on the practice of understanding, compassion, and love. With understanding and love you can embrace and accept everything, and everyone, and you don’t have to suffer, because your heart is large. How can we enlarge our heart? Increasing our understanding and compassion makes our heart grow greater. Each of us has to ask the question: is there anything that we can do to help us open the door of our heart and accept the other person? How large is our heart?
Thich Nhat Hahn, How to Fight (Berkeley: Parallax Press, 2017), at 68.
