The Orientals have the spirit merge with the world, not buzz over it forever like a bored and boring fly.


"The traditional Western bawling after immortality - what is the meaning of it?  Why the insane desire to perpetuate through and beyond all time the identity of the person and the personal consciousness?  The Orientals know better - they have the spirit MERGE WITH the world, not buzz over it forever like a bored and boring fly."
