You're under no obligation to be the same person you were 5 minutes ago. - Alan Watts

If to enjoy even an enjoyable present we must have the assurance of a happy future, we are “crying for the moon.” We have no such assurance. The best predictions are still matters of probability rather than certainty, and to the best of our knowledge every one of us is going to suffer and die.

Moreover, there is no “unconscious” mind distinct from the conscious, for the “unconscious” mind is conscious, though not of itself, just as the eyes see but do not see themselves.

"What do you mean by happiness? What are "better" people better for? About what will you co-operate? What will you do with peace and prosperity?"
