Life is easy; why do we make it hard?

I saw this TED Talk with a man from Thailand and enjoyed it so much that I felt I had to share it with someone.

Amen. We have conveniently "forgotten" this truth, so we can play the "game" of making things difficult. The Orientals knew these things, because, like the Indians (American), they knew the truth about spirit. Difficulties are reflected in the law structure of the more modern world (amongst many other things). However, we are not really any more secure than before; probably less.

I love this, thanks for sharing.

Just read this quote from Mark Twain: 'Sing like no one's listening, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching, and live like it's heaven on earth.'

Deutsches Sprichwort:

Wenn's Arscher'l brummt is's Herz'l g'sund.
If the asshole is humming the heart is singing (healthy).

yes, I love that quote. Just FYI here:

"the song lyrics of “Come from the Heart” should be credited to Susanna Clark and Richard Leigh. Other popular sets of statements overlap these lyrics and apparently were derived from these lyrics. The provenance of these modified sets is less certain. The ascriptions to Mark Twain and Satchel Paige are unsupported." (Quote Investigator: http://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/02/02/dance/

Is the urge to know the true provenance of info making life harder? Heheh

Oh, thanks Maggie. Well, 'provenancing' is a useful skill, if a little time-intensive, but so long as you're enjoying it...
