Things are at the end, all, unsatisfactory.

Thanks, you're cheery!!

Yes, that is much as I thought Kaarine...thank you.

Saw this paragraph on page 26 of the 'Handbook for Mankind' by Buddhadasa Bhikku and liked it:

‘Things are more dangerous than fire because we can at least see a fire blazing away and so don’t go too close to it, whereas all 'things' are a fire we can’t see. Consequently we go about voluntarily picking up handfuls of fire which is invariably painful‘.
