Just another quick thing I posted above Linkadge, and someone hammered this home to me and maybe think about. That is, the idea of ambition, and that we have to keep up with everyone else in our career, or romantic life, etc. I call that, well, a bit of bullcrap. There is no rulebook that say's we gotta do this or that. We are just *here*, in the moment. That is how the Zen Buddhists look at it...wherever you go, there you are.
Are your feet cozy and comfy on a cold day outside? Your sitting around, relaxing, reading a bit? There is no LAW, or anything, that say's, instructs, we have to 'measure up'...blah blah. We are here, BECAUSE we are here...like the Rush song Roll The Bones. (Sorry, don't know if you like them..lol) Just enjoy today, when you get that chance to chill, get a little high...no need to compare...ambition is society created...and it is SO backwards quite often!!
Okay, sorry for the lecture...just thought you could use a different perspective. Just tell me to shut-up...lol.
Have a good day/eve...
