The last three days have been pretty hard to endure and keep my the Dhamma in mind. We have been moving the business and each day has been about 14 to16 straight hours of non-stop work. The reason I mention this is for two reasons: the first being that it is surprising just how mucch I will push myself in the pursuit of money and securityj the second that working like this never guarantees anything will come out of it since you are putting your faith in the external world with its everchanging conditions. Why is it so hard to do what is required for one’s own, true happiness?
