We are biologically wired to protect, promote, and satisfy a self that is always changing – a reflex that can keep us gripping the hot coal of resentment while waiting for the world to apologise.

Inspirational quote:
“Most forget that we are all bound to die. Those who remember lay down their quarrels.”
– Gotama, Dhammapada verse 6 (trans. Bhikkhu Sujato)
