Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.

When the senses are stalled, when the mind is at rest, when the intellect wavers not-- that, say the wise, is the highest state. This calm of the senses and the mind has been defined as yoga. One who attains it is freed from delusion.

Try to relax and enjoy the crisis.
Only the just man enjoys peace of mind.
The most manifest sign of wisdom is a continual cheerfulness; her state is like that in the regions above the moon, always clear and serene.
