Epigrams

The art of the epigram is well alive and quite healthy.
A modern practitioner of this art is Siegfried, from whose blog I take these:


Fragmentation- We are divided. That's all we know.
- whoever said that

Keep believing in yourself-
Don't let people tell you what to think.

How to stop-
Just sit up or stand straight. Observe. Listen.

Looney Tunes

"I have no message for mankind."
-U. G. Krishnamurti

"Good, then try karaoke."
-J. Tourist

How to exploit the present-
Sell the Presence.

What is-
That's you and me. And them. Objects in consciousness or unconsciousness.

It is-
Life is here and now.


Enlightenment

Life is suffering.
- Siddharta

Life is impermanent.
- Adam

Suffering is impermanent.

What Siegfried writes reminds me of Dag Hammerskjold-  but more relaxed and happy.
