Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
June 19, 2020
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.
Excerpt from Daisaku Ikeda - A Youthful Diary (6 April 1954) p166
Rained all day long. A gloomy day. Have recently deeply realized that life force is the greatest fundamental requirement for happiness.
Live and move within society. Eventually I will die.
For 10,000 people, 10,000 unique lives. Simply amazing. What does equality really indicate. Have come to understand the law of causality inherent in life.
