The happiness equation

Don’t want anything. Don’t regret anything.

Gnothi seauton

Suspended between wonderment and regret, the man asked, “Why did I do that?” Well, if we are a mystery to ourselves, we do not know ourselves. Knowledge is power. We cannot change what we do not know.

Monogrammatic

My name is a small, battered valise. I carry my attachments in it.

Childish things

We clear the mind of memories when we lose interest in what we are remembering. This happens naturally, without intention or effort, and hastens as regret and anticipation slink away without saying goodbye.

Straightening up

Some things we can just drop. Like regret. Resentment. Or fear of anything.
