"They say

a person needs just three things 

to be truly happy in this world: 

someone to love, 

something to do, 

and something to hope for.

 —      Tom Bodett

"Since I forsook the world

and broke off all its ties, 

I have felt neither fear 

nor resentment. 

I commit my life to fate 

without special wish to live 

or desire to die. 

Like a drifting cloud 

I rely on anyone 

and have no attachments. 

My only luxury 

is a sound sleep 

and all I look forward to, 

is the beauty 

of the changing seasons."
(Kamo no Chomei)

Society is like a stew.

If you don't stir it up
every once in a while 
then a layer of scum
floats to the top.
