We are all extensions of the same Source. To harm another is to harm the self. Conversely, one person who seeks enlightenment slowly begins to liberate all. Each of us are the macrocosm, as well as the microcosm.

Bodies eventually die. So too does one's attachment to one's illusory creations. One loses nothing when one does this, one only makes room for all that is.
