Wisening up? Who is your teacher? Buddha, Jesus, Obama… 

A few bits of wise sayings

Is it you either believe in a God or submit to a life of despair?

As if living among the religious clerics and fanatic religious believers is not the ultimate in desperation.

In the Far East, the source of mass production of cloths, people still manually weaves the garment of monks and for burial ceremony.

The Roman philosopher Epictetus wrote:

“Is there another end but death? It is the fear of death that is cause for the cowardice and despicable nature of mankind.

Practice against the fear of death. To that end, let all your words, studies, lectures, and behaviors be guided to taming fear of death.

It is the only way for people to feel liberated…”

(Accepting death can be forced on us in due time. Accepting that it is natural for people to kill me is out of the equation for accepting death. Otherwise, why are we striving for companionship and for compassionate communities?)

The irony is that religious clerics are professional con artists, and they are honored and paid to resume their conning activities every day.
