People try to get away from it all\u2014to the country, to the beach, to the mountains. You always wish that you could too. Which is idiotic: you can get away from it anytime you like. By going within. Nowhere you can go is more peaceful\u2014more free of interruptions\u2014than your own soul. Especially if you have other things to rely on. An instant\u2019s recollection and there it is: complete tranquillity. And by tranquillity I mean a kind of harmony. So keep getting away from it all\u2014like that. Renew yourself. But keep it brief and basic. A quick visit should be enough to ward off all < . . . > and send you back ready to face what awaits you.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s there to complain about? People\u2019s misbehavior? But take into consideration:
\na) that rational beings exist for one another, b) that doing what\u2019s right sometimes requires patience, c) that no one does the wrong thing deliberately, d) and the number of people who have feuded and envied and hated and fought and died and been buried.
\n. . . and keep your mouth shut.<\/p>\n
