INSTEAD OF HAVING A NEGATIVE REACTION
     The earth is a sad place because the possible is not achieved — to become something that we are not when we enter this life. Why there is no excuse: You were given enough intelligence to know you need more intelligence. If you knew something was wrong with you, you’d be different. You have to find out for yourself what you value more than catching yourself every second. The preference is to feel yourself rather than abandoning yourself. Use what intelligence you have to become more intelligent. We are cheerful because the way out is here. You can find it.
     The spark of life is to be able to see what you did, and after making a mistake say, “You know, I could have done better. I could have done something new. I am fascinated by and love strong feelings — afraid of boredom.” Instead of feeling something when we meet obstacles along the path, think about this correct thought all day long: “I want to learn how to close the window to the wayward winds that have been scattering my life. I don’t want this tragedy anymore.”
     “I could have abandoned myself instead of having a negative reaction when there was a disappointment, or that car cut in front of me, or someone was rude.”
