Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons.

I see
and I hear
and I speak no evil;
I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without
wishing
a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted
to hope for the best.

The artist is the opposite of the politically minded individual, the opposite of the reformer, the opposite of the idealist. The artist does not tinker with the universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life.

Form is emptiness; emptiness is form.
All phenomena are empty.
Nothing is born, nothing dies; nothing is pure, nothing is impure; nothing increases, nothing decreases.

Don’t worry about being happy. Just focus on cultivating the conditions for its arrival: walk somewhere, run someplace, eat something healthy, lift something heavy, read something good, write something down
happiness will take care of itself.
