A THOUGHT FROM BUDDHISM
For you to dwell upon

004. He who dwells, viewing the world as a source of constant happiness, and lacking in restraint of one's senses in responding to it, not knowing the limits of eating, and also lazy and lacking in initiative, such a person tends to perish as easily as a weak tree in the face of a strong wind. Whosoever stands up to the opposites of these, he stays firm and steady like a rocky mountain. [ Dhammapada vv. 7 & 8 ]
