When you are in stupidity, just be with it, because you are it at that moment. When you are in frustration, just be with it, because you are it at that moment.

When you are in joy, just be with it, because you are it at that moment. When you are in dying, just be with it, because you are it at that moment. When you are dead, the whole universe of yours is dead, too. And this is the Greatest Beauty of Death that makes Life Sacred and Beautiful.
