Quote of the Week
"Our definition of happiness cannot include anything that diminishes happiness."
To clarify our understanding of a particular state of being it is important to remember that, by definition, it cannot include states of being that are contradictory. Happiness for instance cannot include things that are contrary or opposed to happiness; unconditional love cannot include things that are conditional nor antithetical to loving, etc. And this principle applies to all states of being, without exception. If we include contradictory elements in our definitions they will lead to contradictory experiences. We cannot get to happiness on the path of pain or suffering; we cannot arrive at peace through war; nor can we experience contentment through our attachments. So let us pay close attention to keeping our definitions pure, and free of contradictions, for our definitions are the foundation for our experiences.

A romantic character drama with comedic elements, and a powerful political wake-up call by Richard Curtis, the acclaimed writer of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually. Curtis' first film since Love Actually, The Girl in the Cafè literally addresses one the most important questions: Will this be the year when world powers seriously address the issue of world poverty once and for all? The film is a passionate plea to humankind - wrapped in a love story, a comedy and a unique drama. It is a call to arms that shamelessly sets out to entertain, inform and challenge audiences to act. Above all, the film seeks to raise awareness about the important political choices facing the leaders at the G8 Summit, in Scotland in 2005, and for all of our actions to match our principles (definitions).
