"let's tell the truth to the people. When people ask, "How are you", have the nerve sometimes to answer truthfully. You must know however, that people will start avoiding you because they too have knees that pain them and heads which hurt and they dont want to know about yours. But think of it this way, if people avoid you, you will have more time to meditate and do fine research on a cure for whatever truly afflicts you."
Totally awsome. Especially the last bit. I spent a few years unable to hold "normal" conversation. Dressing like a bum, and interacting with the world and people around me, while basically exorcising a lifetime of toxic residue left from early trauma and years of bad personal choices.
It was the best thing I could have done for myself at the time.
The whole book is grand for every motherless child out there. No matter how old you are.
