"Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire." - Jorge Luis Borges

The Knowledge Fallacy
There is a wide spread belief that "the more you know the better it gets" or "the real truth is hidden and one has to work very hard to eventually understand this secret knowledge". This is an illusion which assumes that time is linear. A source of stress. Why seek "enlightenment" over the imaginary rainbow when its all right here and now? THIS IS IT - really simple. Relax and enjoy it - you will die soon enough, no matter what you know or not.

A few Inspiring quotes. Like all media, nothing more than "Finger Pointing at the Moon"
“Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.” — Chinese Proverb
"Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate." — Zhuangzi
"In the silence and the void, Standing alone and unchanging, Ever present and in motion." - Laozi
"In silence there must be movement, and in motion, there must be silence. A small movement is better than a big, no movement is better than a small movement, silence is all the movement's mother. In Movement you should be like a dragon or a tiger. In non Movement you should be like a Buddha." - Wang Xiang Zhai
