Why Are You Unhappy?
“Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 per cent Of everything you think, And of everything you do, Is for yourself — And there isn’t one” - Wei Wu Wei
Noticed this Wei Wu Wei quote in Ken Wilber’s book (p.243) Grace and Grit about the death of his wife Treya. The quote tickled me - and there is none. How great. An invitation to freedom if there ever was one. I can cling a little too closely to my careful crafted self. It is nice to get a reminder that what we’re really engaged in here is a beautiful childhood game of make believe. Suppose this could swing to the depressing if one looked at it a certain way. I find it invigorating.
