Why do you need to affirmatively say you're not considering suicide, then? Tom Send a noteboard - 09/05/2010 05:41:50 AM
Of course one doesn't live to meditate, but by meditating properly you can get the insight into what you DO live to do, and what makes you happy, and be happy as a result. It's a means to an end, not an end in itself. The way you framed this whole post leads me to infer that if you aren't happy, you could get better insight on why through meditation. That's it.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
