Three things cannot be long hidden:  the sun, the moon, and the truth.   —   Buddha

(Some republicans are finding this out the hard way.  But there are still too many who refuse to see the truth, and continue to screech:  Fake News!  ANTIFA did it!  and The Capitol Police let them in!  They are far from the traditional, fiscally responsible – reasonable – republicans.  They’re more the Mama dropped me on my head republicans.  I don’t think there is any way of saving those ones!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Buddha loved to diet - Times of India

Times of luxury do not last long, but pass away very quickly; nothing in this world can be long enjoyed.”   —   Buddha

(Regular folks, who’ve had to earn a living, can really appreciate this.  The idle rich have nothing better to do than trying to exceed their last enjoyment.  This can lead to some really decadent and deplorable  acts.  If we ever chose to *eat the rich* . . . it would only be a temporary pleasure, folks.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth:  not going all the way, and not starting.”   —   Buddha

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.”   —   Buddha

(Let’s hear it for the jolly, chubby, bald dude!  No offense to any of my Buddhist readers.  This guy looks like he’s all about love.  Nothing vengeful about him.  Always love others, but also don’t forget to love yourself.  Both today’s Cryptoquote and Jumble reference love and affection.  Two of life’s best attributes.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

If a man can control his mind he can find the way to enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.”   —   Buddha

(Or, you could drink heavily, and just delude yourself into thinking that you are virtuous and wise!  I was able to solve today’s Cryptoquote without having to identify the E and the T first.  Not exactly “enlightenment”, but not bad for an aging ne’er-do-well.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Buddha, Buddha, Buddha.  Buddy-boy.  One can always start down the road to truth, but there are far too many forks and detours for anyone to go all the way.  And, those potholes and speed bumps are a real bitch, too.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”   —   Buddha
