Enjoy the world while it lasts

The realization that everything will end.. can free one from attachment.. and thus lead to great happiness !

A short definition

A friend - is a person you dont seek to impress.

In love, the lover wants to 'get' the beloved. Love presupposes a distance. In friendship, the person is already yours.

My Self

I think about myself alone. Also about myself when not alone. But the problem is that my 'self' includes so many people!

This works. For me at least.

Give me something to eat.. make me laugh.. then maybe I will be ready enough to listen to advice.

What more is needed?

A helping hand when in need.. and a few shared laughs.. thats friendship enough.

Safety..

..has meaning only when one has experienced danger.

Roots of idealism...

Idealism comes from an innate belief in oneself.

The belief in oneself is strengthened by success.

Success comes from work.

Also, a practical man looks into today and tomorrow.. an idealist looks into eternity.
