So what is it with your mother that you haven't worked out yet?
I think our children are afraid to die because we're afraid to die.
Nothing comes ahead of its time, and nothing ever happened that didn't need to happen.
It takes only one person to have a successful relationship.
So there's only transcendence in the moment. Nobody can be transcended forever. That's why I say, "Who cares if you're enlightened forever?"
We suffer only until we realize that we can't know anything.
