Means Furry News
It is sad when someone loses their life to cancer, I should know my own brother died of cancer 7 years ago. Chadwick Boseman, who literally got the biggest role of his lifetime with the Black Panther. His passing is doubly sad, so I take a momentary break from all things furry to remember a life take far too soon.
The following was posted on his own Twitter page.
To me, all these features that differentiate us, like wealth, position, status, and so on, are secondary. I truly believe we can learn to relate to one another on the basis of our shared humanity. And if individuals can learn to do that, there’ll immediately be a basis for trust.
Given what has been happening in the world, I think we all need an extra dose of wisdom.
We can’t remove external problems at will, but in terms of our inner world we can develop tolerance, forgiveness and contentment. If we have developed peace of mind, we can remain calm no matter what happens in the outside world.
The real destroyer of our peace of mind isn’t an external weapon or enemy, but our own destructive emotions. Neither our friends nor even the Buddha provide an opportunity to practice patience in the way that a hostile person does. And in so doing, an enemy can become our teacher
