A Proper Persepctive (From 7/14/2009 myspace blog)
If, by giving up lesser comforts,A greater happiness is to be found,
The wise should give up their lesser comforts
In view of the greater happiness.
How foolish to seek comfort
Through someone else's pain.
There is no escape from the trap of animosity.
The indolent and negligent
Accrue unwholesome mind states
By doing what should not be done,
And failing to do what should be done.
Unwholesome mind states disappear
Among those who are mindful of the nature of the body,
Who stop doing what is right not be done,
And fulfill what needs to be done.
