The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world. -Sutta Nipata
James's comment: This is something that I need to work on. It is easy for me to become stained by the opinions of the world when it comes to politics. I'm very passionate about geo-political issues and sometimes I let the passion get the best of me at the expense of my peace. I will watch myself more carefully and recommit to staying peaceful in the midst of all the political hurricanes that blow through the mind.
-Peace to all beings-
