#13 Intention


     Regardless of what first brought us to mindfulness practice, or what our worldview is, we can as decent human beings all join graduating physicians in the Hippocratic oath:
     To decrease suffering.
     To at least do no harm.

     Humble intentions, yet as we become increasingly mindful, we notice how often we are the proverbial "bull in a china shop." 

     Learning to be more aware of what we're doing and how it affects people, and having the intent to decrease suffering, is a fine common cause.
