Zen Philosophy

We can't claim we're fully wise;
we are all the same like a river
which constantly has a fresh supply
of water, as it let's the old water to flow
away. We are constantly learning and unlearning;
unlearning and learning.
We read many books and listen to many inspirational
shows, but sometimes find ourselves puzzled
about the next step or move.
Sometimes doing nothing, and emptying our minds
of so much thoughts,
is the only answer we have to attaining happiness...
