            Sometimes it’s very difficult 
              to get along with our family members, neighbors and friends. But 
              it’s even more difficult if we don’t try to get along; 
              we’ll lose some of our power, our loving kindness. Anytime 
              we hate our neighbor, we lose some of our enlightenment. Anytime 
              we think negatively about someone, we lose some of our Self; we 
              lose some of the Light and some of the Heavenly happiness that normally 
              belongs to us. So if we see all this clearly, we know that we actually 
              can’t afford to hate anyone but that’s the problem; 
              that’s the most difficult part of living in this world. Because 
              everything makes us angry; everything annoys us; everything seems 
              to go against us. Yet at the same time, we must love them all and 
              that can be very, very difficult.
