| Old men's prayers for death are lying prayers, in which they abuse old age and long extent of life. But when death draws near, not one is willing to die, and age no longer is a burden to them. |

| Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe! |

| For some time now Pooh had been saying "Yes" and "No" in turn, with his eyes shut, to all that Owl was saying, and having said, "Yes, yes," last time, he said, "No, not at all," now, without really knowing what Owl was talking about. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Due to karmic influences, the world appears in different ways to certain people. Like when a human being, a god, and a preta - three sentient beings - look at one bowl of water, the karmic factors make the human being see it as water while the god sees nectar and the preta sees blood. The same object, due to special forces of karma, appears differently to each of them. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, July 3, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
