the things you look at will change

"When unfortunate things happen in our lives there are two possible results.  One possibility is mental unrest, anxiety, fear, doubt, frustration and eventually depression, and in the worst case, even suicide.  That's one way.  The other possibility is that  because of that tragic experience you become more realistic, you become closer to reality. With the power of investigation, the tragic experience may make you stronger and increase your self-confidence and self-reliance. The unfortunate event can be a source of inner strength."

His Holiness The Dalai Lama
Dear Friends Around the World:

If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another.  If you wish to know that you are safe, cause [others] to know that they are safe.

If you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand. 

If you wish to heal your own sadness or
anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.

Dalai Lama
