A dear friend encouraged me to read the infamous book. But before I buy it, I just managed to read some reviews. As I was flipping through some of them, a passage from the book struck me.

“Vipassana meditation teaches that grief and nuisance are inevitable in this life, but if you can plant yourself in stillness long enough, you will, in time, experience the truth that everything (both uncomfortable and lovely) does eventually pass.

The world is afflicted with death and decay, therefore the wise do not grieve, knowing the terms of the world, says an old Buddhist teaching. In other words: Get used to it.”


Yes, there is a lot to learn about life. And this book might be a good guideline for me too. Off to the bookstore!
