Life is both pleasure and pain, is it not? But why should we cling to pleasure and avoid pain? Why not merely live with both? If you cling to pleasure what happens? You get attached, do you not?
Jiddu KrishnamurtiAnd as we are - the world is. That is, if we are greedy, envious, competitive, our society will be competitive, envious, greedy, which brings misery and war. The State is what we are.
Jiddu KrishnamurtiIts beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. it means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.
