Forever is not an idea or a concept, it is reality. All of the things here come from forever. We call forever nirvana in Zen.

If you learn to lead your life strategically and strongly, you can overcome the opposition. But running away, you never overcome anything. The pathway to enlightenment is for the warrior, the samurai.

For a person who lives in time, differences are the most important thing because they represent your existence.
