Unless handled with tranquility, this equation can result in considerable stress, ulcers, and even death.

Douglas Wilder

Dalai Lama

Education is the proper way to promote compassion and tolerance in society. Compassion and peace of mind bring a sense of confidence that reduce stress and anxiety, whereas anger and hatred come from frustration and undermine our sense of trust.
