Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy.

When we begin to understand the concept of Karma we will never ever blame God for anything that happens to us. We will realise that we are responsible for all that happens to us.

This is the Universal Law that applies to individuals, to whole communities, societies, nations and races. As we sow, so shall we reap.

I desired dragons with a profound desire.

I have a strong Lutheran background, and my parents instilled in me strong morals.
