    James Clavell
    “Leave the problems of God to God and karma to karma. Today you’re here and nothing you can do will change that. Today you’re alive and here and honored, and blessed with good fortune. Look at this sunset, it’s beautiful, neh? This sunset exists. Tomorrow does not exist. There is only now. Please look. It is so beautiful and it will never happen ever again, never, not this sunset, never in all infinity.

    Lose yourself in it, make yourself one with nature and do not worry about karma, yours, mine, or that of the village.”

If you don't give way to the seven, you're patient, then you'll soon understand all manner of things and be in harmony with Eternity.”
