ZEN on the S&W forum

Very good premise Cag. The Marines have a saying (actually they have a lot of sayings) but this one goes to convey the same concept. "Don't sweat the small ****. It's all small ****.

I might get around to reading it one day but I don't really need it. That is already one of my 4 or 5 words-to-live-by.
 
This little book sums it up

For those of you (us :rolleyes) who get their panties in a wad over:
Rebates that take forever to come:
The lock:
Walmart checkers who demand to see your receipt before they let you out of the store
Pit bulls
Bear gun calibers
Semi vs revolver
is the .380 adequate
how many rounds needed for gunfights
M&P 380 vs LCP
and the myraid of issues that daily confounds, perplexes and irritates members of this august forum, I suggest the reading of a book that changed my life.

"The subtle Art of Not Giving a ****" by Mark Manson. this should be in everyone's library along with "The Art of War" ,the 4th edition of the S&W book by Supica and Nash, Lonesome Dove and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
It's basic premise is that life is NOT FAIR and the sooner you realize it and accept it the happier you will be-Give a **** about what matters and don't give a **** about what doesn't. You will soon find out that most of the stuff doesn't matter.

Well, at least I have two of those books. :rolleyes:
 
There's only 2 things in life to worry about....you're either healthy or your sick.

If you're healthy, there's really nothing to worry about. If you're sick, there's only 2 things to worry about. You're going to get well or you're going to die.

If you're going to get well, you're basically healthy, so really nothing to worry about. If you're going to die, there's only 2 things to worry about; you're either going to heaven or hell.

If you're going to heaven, there's is nothing to worry about. If you're going hell, there's only 2 things to worry about; are you going to be the only person from the forum there, or will you be too busy shaking hands to give a ****.
 
Don't have any of the books Caj mentioned above, do have The Five Rings.

Raised 4 kids using the mantra "Life/the world is not fair". A couple have admitted they're using the same mantra. I expect the others do, but won't admit it. I also appropriated Yoda's comment that "There is no try. DO! Or do not."

Would it be appropriate to add "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated" to Rastoff's list above?
