Fine As It Is

Postby Affinity on Thu Oct 04, 2012 5:46 pm

"If you have wisdom wherever you go you will be carefree. The whole world is already just fine as it is. All the trees in the forest are already just fine as they are: there are tall ones, short ones, hollow ones... all kinds. They are simply the way they are. Through ignorance of their true nature we go and force our opinions onto them... ''Oh, this tree is too short! This tree is hollow!'' Those trees are simply trees, they're better off than we are." - Ajahn Chah
"We are game-playing, fun-having creatures, we are the otters of the universe. We cannot die, we cannot hurt ourselves any more than illusions on the screen can be hurt." - Richard Bach: Illusions
