No need to strive. All is what it is and with this comes that. Love!
Dear Sir, thank you so much for visiting cuckooscall.blogsot.com and your kind comment. I look forward to knowing more through your blog as well. Best, rama
Hullo again Sir, Franny & Zooey - how can I then even begin to share one's relation to that book / stories!! Have you read Hapworth? Are you aware of the uncollected stories now accessible through the net?! I learnt about that to my deep delight last year.
> Worth striving for or against?
Neither. In samsara, pleasure and pain, gain and loss, praise and blame, and fame and disrepute will occur. If we measure happiness based on achieving one or avoiding another, that happiness will be transient.
Ditto what Don said...
:) Love!
Ditto you all...
No... they show up, regardless. :)
Or do they only appear to show up?
