Eric Weiner Quote
It is again: that Hindu belief that all of life is maya, illusion. Once we see life as a game, no more consequential than a game of chess, then the world seems a lot lighter, a lot happier. Personal failure becomes as small a cause for concern as playing the role of loser in a summer theater performance, writes Huston Smith in his book The World’s Religions. If it’s all theater, it doesn’t matter which role you play, as long as you realize it’s only a role. Or, as Alan Watts said: A genuine person is one who knows he is a big act and does it with complete zip.
