Briefing
Use Pharaoh for 'where and what'.
WHY SOME people consider youth a time of freedom and joy, is perhaps because they've forgotten their own. [Cf. Margaret Atwood]

GOOD ZEN doesn't confuse spirituality with thinking about God while peeling potatoes. [With Alan Watts]

IN STUDYING the Zen way, realising it can be hard. Once you have realised it, preserving it can be hard. When you can preserve it, cutting it into heritage-practice can be very, very hard. Go for that. [Cf. Zen Saying]

Briefing: Bandit Lessons

Briefing cat THERE is a good reason to reject being surrounded by those who Jesus called the blind; he meant unworthy. Either one goes against decay or gets drained by it.
       Some still rely on skills and caution to lessen or eliminate effects of bad company. It may work for some time, but there is a need for caution: Many really unworthy ones gallop headlong for social gains and activities. They spur their horses in search for social gains, and let others repair the damages and hurts they cause by their narrow hard-heartedness and the like. That is not good.
       Hence, it is very rational to get rid of unworthy company without ending up alone "in the clouds". Also, just sitting alone tends to lessen one's outlooks and chances of promotions and good luck.
       What can you do? Here are lessons from the Vikings. Not a few of them were blind, sinister, active, cautious, very able to get on and up - but they were barbars that damaged too much on their way. We can learn from them in the light of the Chinese proverb:
       "The best cure for drunkenness is while sober to see a drunken man." [Dp 68]
