Thomas Merton had a way of seeing and saying things that make sense even 50 after he passed away. Osho says the same thing essentially. We cannot take it with us so it is important to do well with it on Earth and share in ways that make the world a better place.
So true Ivon
Thank you Bill.
And we choose what is success?
We all chase our choices . . .

Wow, a powerful quote. I’d never thought of being a success as a failure…
