There are two mischievous superstitions, I know not which does the most harm, one, that “I am wiser than you,” and the other that “You are wiser than I” The truth is that every man is furnished, if he will heed it, with wisdom necessary to steer his own boat, - if he will not look away from his own to see how his neighbor steers his.
Ask a Buddhist how to govern your life. He will tell you what is valuable to him. Ask a Christian why you should believe in Christ. She will tell you why she believes. Ask a Hindu about Krishna, or Shiva, or Lakshmi. He will tell you what has given his life meaning. Where can you find meaning in your life, if not in yourself?
