a quote

I want to save this:
"Hindus extend this distinction [that one person may be
psychologically mature while another is not] to cover
multiple live fspans, as wee shall see when we come to
their doctrine of reincarnsation. As a consequence, we
shall find men and women who play the game of desire with
all the zest of nine-year-old cops and robbers; though
they know little else, they will die with the sense of
having had a good life. Others, though, will be just as
good at this game but find its laurels paltry. Why the
difference? The enthusiasts are caught up in the flush of
novelty, whereas the others, having played the game many
times, seek other worlds to conquer." This is from The
Illustrated World's Religions by Huston Smith. I like
it.
