If everything happened when and how we wanted it to, then nothing would be worth waiting for.

About Me


The origin of suffering is attachment to transient things and the ignorance thereof.
Because the objects of our attachment are transient, their loss is inevitable, thus suffering will necessarily follow.
Objects of attachment also include the idea of a "self" which is a delusion, because there is no abiding self. What we call "self" is just an imagined entity, and we are merely a part of the ceaseless becoming of the universe.
