Dharma Alone Is What Matters

We often end up celebrating precisely what we lack, or what we feel deprived of. The sense of incompleteness comes from outside. It is often imposed and culturally instilled to sustain a network of relations in which some lord it over others, and some thrive at others' expense. It is always a relationship of surplus for some and deficit for others.

The reality, obscured by its gross denial, is that nobody needs to justify their existence. Everyone is a unique entity possessing a life. Dharma flows from this understanding: preserving oneself and serving others, keeping the good of all in mind.

Everyone is who they are, no lesser and no greater than anyone else. Knowing one's Dharma and performing it is ultimately what it all comes down to. That is what should matter and what actually matters.
