A Novel Idea

The head monkey at Paris puts on a traveller's cap, and all the monkeys in America do the same.--Henry David Thoreau

It is the same in thinking as in clothes.

A Tempting Fate

The belief that enlightenment is only attainable by superior human beings is a diabolical lie.

The ultimate purpose of such a lie is to tempt the vanity of those spiritually inclined, to seduce them into believing in their own superiority.

A Waiting Game

"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life.

"But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.

"At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

"This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.

"So treasure every moment that you have and remember that time waits for no one." --Souza
