Quotes
Wanting a haven for myself,I saw nothing that wasn’t laid claim to.Seeing nothing in the endbut competition,I felt discontent.And then I sawan arrow here,so very hard to see,embedded in the heart.Overcome by this arrowyou run in all directions.But simply on pulling it outyou don’t run,you don’t sink.
4.15 Attadanda Sutta: The Rod Embraced, as translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
