Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Tuesday, June 19, 2012
If you always have a shallow perspective and pay attention only to trivial things, you are sure to get bogged down in all kinds of petty worries and concerns, and not be able to move forward. Even relatively minor hurdles or problems will seem insurmountable. But if you look at life from a broad viewpoint, you naturally spot the way to solve any problem you may confront. This is true when we consider our own personal problems as well as those of society and even the future of the entire world.
Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (1956) p.288
Keeping a diary has become a burden.
…
As a person of average capacity, I have many aspects – I sometimes feel like writing and at other times do not. As a youth, I have many aspects – at times I am swept away by swift currents, and other times I stand fast amid the raging torrents. At times I enjoy solitude, while other times I delight in talking with others. Life has many aspects.
