Not getting carried away...

When you keep your calm; you will not be carried away by your emotions and the opinions of the majority. An advertisement says: "You must buy that", and then everybody goes out to buy it. When someone says: "that man needs to be beaten", then people can be carried away by the emotions of the majority. 

Thich Nhat Hanh

 

 

 The beauty of not getting carried away is brought home by the beauty of nature and her rivers which carry the water of the planet like the life blood.
