Quote of the day

There is no place for using effort.
Just be ordinary and nothing special.
Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water,
and when you're tired, go and lie down.
The ignorant will laugh at me,
but the wise will understand.

- Lin-chi

Hey stranger.

It turns out that I am not all that wise. I do not understand why there is no place for exerting effort...

I hope you're enjoying the World Cup.

No analysis of the action so far?

I have been on the downlow.

I was reading some stuff about the purpose of life/existence. It put a smile on my face. I don't know about being wise [or not] but I feel the guy.

Haven't seen too many matches. The predictability of majority of the group games. The knock out phase is really what I'm waiting for.

Exerting effort is futile. It is chasing after the wind.

Samborera,
From one searching soul to another, I have to say that statement is just soo sad and so hopeless, I cannot accept it, though it be the truth.....

Thanks for stopping by though... as the saying goes..... "misery loves company" and on some level it is very reassuring to know I am not alone...

kelitu - It is all useless.

mrembo - For me, it's not sad or hopeless. Quite liberating actually. You can't accept the truth?

Liberating... yes.. I can see how that can be.
Accepting it.. at this point, is tantamount to giving up .. then what?
