True salvation only comes from serving others and being excellent with each other, without expecting anything in return. True love is about that, you love but don’t expect to be loved back.
If things are difficult, do not give up. Persevere. Stop microdosing on dopamine. Turn off social media, turn off sugar, turn off the noise. The light will come. Do not complain. Stay quiet.

Generosity without wastefulness.
Peace without laziness.
