Like Yoga, the spiritual life is actually very difficult.
I'm not speaking as someone who has reached satori or anything else. I'm a student.
I do my best work when I am in pain and turmoil.
I can't fly a flag for monogamy or whatever the opposite is; it depends on the person and on the situation.
I come from a family of losers, and I've rejected my family as something I don't want to be like.
Intellectually I'm probably a Republican.
