Simple reality check


     “Sometimes it is good to make a simple reality check about the latest edition of ‘The Drama’ (playing on an inner screen near you). Ask yourself, ‘What is this, in the light of my own death? What will it be a hundred years from now?’ It is extraordinary how little will truly pass through that filter, and how freeing it is to see that it is so. Let it go, let it go. You will never die of letting it go. You may well die of holding on to it like grim death.”
