Hmmm. That's an interesting quote. It's true that you have to learn to accept where you are at, but I'd hate to opt out of emotional involvement in life. As far as characters go, they can't achieve peace of mind until after the conflict is resolved, I think. Anyway, very thought provoking. I love that picture.

I liked this quote because it really makes you think. Is it a trade off that to have peace you have to "opt out of active emotional involvement in life"? This would be like "rolling with the punches" in life and "going with the flow". I am always in search of spiritual peace and I try to not get too "grounded" on things I cannot do anything about at the time. I look at it like this: Should I really let this get to me? Will this matter tomorrow? And if this was my last day on this earth, is it really worth spending it frustrated at something or someone?
A friend of mine sent me this picture and I loved it too.
