Wanting
The key to happiness is to stop wanting

All sufferings originate from wantings
Therefore we want - only to suffer

Wanting to know
Wanting to go
Wanting to do
Wanting to have

These are sources of misery

Not wanting is also wanting
It is wanting in the opposite direction

There is no end to wanting
So why suffer endlessly?

When you want, there is longing
When you don't want, there is misery

When you stop wanting, there is no more suffering

The Farm

And as I hurry to finish my work,
I remember that there is nothing to hurry to,
no quotas to fill,
no one looking over my shoulder.

Suddenly I can hear the birds.

Perspective

There's running away from something and then
There's running towards something.

One of them leads to a destination.
One of them leads nowhere.

Perspective

Sometimes you need to be selfish -
Or else you end up living the life others want you to live.

Perspective

Don't wait for anyone before beginning to live your life -
Or else you might never get started.
