The world was peopled with minds, whirling faster than any wind, in search of distraction and escape from the predicament of change, the dilemma of life and death--- seeking purpose, security, enjoyment, trying to make sense of the mystery. Everyone everywhere lived in a confused, bitter search. Reality never matched their dreams; happiness was just around the corner--- a corner they never turned. And the source of it all was the human mind.
"If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change, free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality."
