Meditations on Douglas Horton

"Being sorry is the highest act of selfishness, seeing value only after discarding it."

"Change occurs in direct proportion to dissatisfaction, but dissatisfaction never changes."

"Materialism is the only form of distraction from true bliss."

"No one can drive us crazy unless we give them the keys."

"The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity."

The problem I am finding reading your blogs through the reverse is that I agree too much with the statements to offer much more than "I concur."

It really does seem that the older I get (and I'm not sure if this is to do with me or the world I exist in) the more the complexity of the world baffles me. We really are such simple creatures, all just looking for something or someone to give our lives meaning. What that is seems to vary from person to person, but in the end it all comes down to the same thing.

We just don't want to be pointless.
