Kindle Notes & Highlights
Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your own life. The object can be stated this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck.
I read myself, not the person in front of me. I always know a lie because I want to turn my back on the liar.”
“Others do it differently. One person I heard say she knew a lie because she wanted to put her arm through the liar’s arm and walk a ways, comforting the liar.
“You approach everything with a clean slate, nothing on you or in you. Whatever comes is written there by itself.”
Some never participate. Life happens to them. They get by on little more than dumb persistence and resist with anger or violence all things that might lift them out of resentment-filled illusions of security.
“Our gods should mature as we mature.”
No joy can be permanent. All is transient. “This, too, shall pass away” applies to all of our living universe.
