Odi et Amo

Catullus had it right when he wrote "Odi et Amo." I hate and I love. Hate=Fear in my book. Fear and Love. Those are my watchwords. So imagine my surprise when I saw the Buddhist Saying for today which I just now read:

For the one who has no inner, angry thoughts,

Who has gone past being a someone, a this or a that,

That one is free from fear and is blissful.

Even the gods cannot win such serenity.-Udana Sutta

Sheesh.

Namaste for Now
