Here is a portion of an e-mail from a "wise elder". It came in response to me generally bemoaning some run of the mill problem that had happened to me.
An ancient like Lao Tzu, or a modern like Sharma, all have the same prescription. Don't be such a fucking materialist. Smile and pay up. Laugh and fuck your brains out. There is no pre-ordained path for you. Life is lived in the moment. Your happiness depends less on what you have and infinitely more on how you manage your desires and expectations. And here is my crack-pot advice- your only particle of control is over your mind and it's attitudes. Life is all about magic- love it, live it.
In my opinion that passage is just awesome.
