“Patience safeguards our peace of mind in the face of adversity. . . . It is a deliberate response (as opposed to an unreasoned reaction) to the strong negative thoughts and emotions that tend to arise when we encounter harm.”

Happiness

Matthieu Ricard

Harrow (2007), writing about the ‘third sector’ in the UK, argues that it is simultaneously underpaid (relying on volunteer or low-waged labour, because of the value-or ethos-driven character); overworked (both in terms of stretched organisations and individual workers); and overvalued (with unrealistic expectations about the scale and quality of third sector contributions).

A question of discipline. Of Rigor and Air-conditioning. Nothing more.

The God of Small Things

Arundhati Roy
