From \u2018Essex County\u2019 by Jeff Lemire, Annie the nurse says, ‘I lost a patient today… Humph!… I know what you’d say if you could. You’d say, “It’s part of your job, Annie. Won’t be the first, won’t be the last.” But I… well sometimes wonder if I do any good at all. Do I make any difference in these people’s lives?<\/span>‘<\/p>\n

We are all patients of Samsara who lose one another while trying to nurse one another towards Nirvana that is True Happiness. There are two kinds of doing good – good that benefits another for this life and good that benefits another for good<\/span> – for the next life too, for advancement towards Nirvana – the end of being caught in the cycle of life and death. The latter is the true way to make lasting differences.<\/p>\n
