“The root of suffering is attachment.” – The Buddha

From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
15 January
I came into this world with nothing. When death comes, everything I’ve garnered since then will be taken away – all my worldly goods, family, talents, the lot. All I’ll take with me is the love, the peace, the encouragement, the vibrant sense of justice, the childlike sense of wonder that I’ve given away with God’s own prodigality. In fact, my guarantee of eternal bliss is that they’re the only “things” that belong to that realm of the timeless and the spaceless, a realm that is my natural habitat.
