"But he still thought it self-evident that one had to do what was right; he had never learned how people could want to do otherwise; he had learned only that they did. It still seemed simple and incomprehensible to him: simple that things should be right, and incomprehensible that they weren't"

I. Preceded by perception are mental states,
For them is perception supreme,
From perception have they sprung.
If, with perception polluted, one speaks or acts,
Thence suffering follows
As a wheel the draught ox's foot.

II. Preceded by perception are mental states,
For them is perception supreme,
From perception they have sprung.
If, with tranquil perception, one speaks or acts,
Thence ease follows
As a shadow that never departs.

47. Death takes away
The man with attached mind,
Plucking only flowers,
Like a great flood, a sleeping village.

-The Dhammapada- (or, sayings of Buddha)

Oh dear, how is life these days on the beach that is long? Is life pleasing and fruitful? Do you wear your incredible smile all day long in the warm sunlight as sea birds gracefully float by on the soft breeze? Do you extend your evenings for the joys of life? How is it all turning out on this next page?
