We End Liberated | August 27, 2014
There is no permanent Hell, there is no
permanent Heaven. Therefore, the suffering that we sense during this
transition of life is not a permanent condition that we need to be
afraid of. It's not where we're going to end up. We end liberated from
the suffering either by death, or in life, by waking up to the nature of
our situation and not clinging and grasping, screaming and being angry,
resentful, irritable or insulted by our existence.
-Allen Ginsberg, "Negative Capability: Kerouac's Buddhist Ethic"
