Spend or Save

Good morning!

 

We had a little fog this morning. We seem to have a foggy world. Today is Black Friday. The top NY Times op-ed article today is “Why We Spend. Why They Save.”

 

If we value matter and power, we want to spend more, and even spend mind and life. If we value mind and life, we want to save more, even matter and power.

 

If we are awakened to the truth that all things are interrelated and impermanent, we must be careful and save all, rather than think that everything is expendable, spending ever more.
