Laugh at the mind!

We always forget that we are not our mind. This leads to being too serious. On the outside we use fake smiles while inside we are worried sick about almost everything.

The greatest teachers in the world have not been able to save us from overthinking ourselves to death.

We love their wisdom but we forget to apply it.

We are indoctrinated into misery as soon as we begin to think.

As Sonny and Cher sang, “and the beat goes on.”

Everyone has their thoughts that they fear to express; society frowns on actually telling the truth.

I left society a long time ago and it hasn’t missed me! That tells me that only liars enjoy the company of other liars.

Yes, social lies are what imprison us.

They look innocent but we are their captives.

If anyone thinks that forgetting who we are does not lead to misery, see me after class. Giggle.
