Welcome to Zen Corner

Agitprop's Zen Corner is a place to reflect on issues of being, nothingness, and everything else in between. A place to draw comfort from the eternal discomfort of our postmodern existence. A place to wallow and think about the depths of this life.

Death is our eternal companion . . . The thing to do when you're impatient is . . . to turn to your left and ask advice from your death. An immense amount of pettiness is dropped if your death makes a gesture to you, or if you catch a glimpse of it, or if you just catch the feeling that your companion is there watching you.                                                                  -- Carlos Castenada

You live in illusion and the appearance of things. There is a reality but you do not know this. When you understand this, you will see that you are nothing, and being nothing you are everything. That is all.             -- Kalu Rinpoche                                                                

The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.  -- William Shakespeare.

                                                                                                                               

I believe in the essential unity of all that lives. Therefore I believe that if one person gains spiritually the whole world gains, and if one person falls, the world falls to that extent.                                                                         -- Mohandas K. Gandhi

Nice work you do here. And I'm glad you're adding philosophy to the mix.
