Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Your most dangerous enemy is not your political opponent, or business competitor, or a person who is intending on killing you… Your most dangerous enemy is yourself.

All others enemies are outside you and far from you. You can always defend against them.

But you usually can’t defend you from yourself. In addition, you usually fool yourself without knowing about it – you do wrong, but you fool you as right; you’re arrogant, but you fool you as humble; you’re are greedy, but you fool you as generous…

Only you can drag yourself to the mud.

So, be aware of yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror and look for the true you. Reflect upon yourself often each day to see what good and bad deeds you have done. Be honest to yourself. You should love you enough not to fool you.

Most importantly, too many people fool themselves all their life without knowing it. That is Ignorance, the root of all sins.

What a pity!

With compassion,

Hoành
