"By listening, by caring, by playing you back to yourself, friends ratify your better instincts and endorse your unique worth. Friends validate you."

Previous Quote

Once we see that everything is impermanent and ungraspable and that we create a huge amount of suffering if we are attached to things staying the same, we realize that relaxing and letting go is a wiser way to live. Letting go does not mean not caring about things. It means caring about them in a flexible and wise way.

— Jack Kornfield
