It's something that anyone can pursue, but when it so consistently eludes, despite intense amounts of effort and varying perspectives, there's not much one can do.<br /><br />As far as friends, I don't feel that it's a matter of just working hard. Maintaining friends might fall under that one, but making them in the first place is much more complex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7634583.post-1099943406021469562004-11-08T11:50:00.000-08:002004-11-08T11:50:00.000-08:00ohoh! was I the wise friend? I think the phrase "...ohoh! was I the wise friend? I think the phrase "all comparison leads to suffering" is the absolute best (um, not that I'm comparing, of course). I can't remember if Shunryu Suzuki said it or if it is just a zen saying.<br /><br />anyway, I hear you about the "you're lucky" or the "you're sooooo smart" or the "you're a great big happy phat pig," whatever one might be it's weird to be labeled by someone else.Bjetseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555204152810415312noreply@blogger.com
