The Knowledge GREED
You are accumulating knowledge out of greed. There’s no difference between knowledge-greed and materialistic greed. Or spiritual greed, on that matter. Greed is greed. If your motivation is accumulation — then it’s greed. And the consequences are the same. You are stuck in the chase. Stuck in the time – which becomes the means …
“Savour it but don’t chase it” The only words needed to grasp the Middle Way. Chase something and it escapes you. Pleasure numbs you and glory betrays you. Renounce something and you renounce life.

It’s Better To BE Self-indulgent Then Dutiful
It’s better to be self-indulgent then dutiful. Self-indulgent is too self-indulgent to stick with an unpleasant routine. Dutiful is too dutiful not to stick with an unpleasant routine.

Chains Of Understanding
Complicated thing is simply a large enough chain of simple things. Simple explanation is not simplification, or reduction. Simple explanation is one that leads one smoothly through each part of the chain. People who can’t explain simply don’t truly understand the subject. Their chain of understanding is incomplete. One can always collect …
It’s Better To Be Bored Then Busy
It’s better to be bored then busy. The bored is too bored to stick with stupid routine. The busy is too busy not to stick with a stupid routine. The bored still has a chance. The busy doesn’t even have the time.
Followers Consumers Leaders Producers
The elevation from weak follower is not to the courageous leader. The elevation from mindless consumer is not to the industrious producer. Leader needs followers. Producer needs consumers. Leader is but another side of the follower coin. Producer is but another side of the consumer coin. I say – dispense the coins altogether. …
