Other ways in which Buddhists are like Erisians

[featherynscale]

Let us rise up and be thankful,
for if we didn’t learn a lot today,
at least we learned a little,
and if we didn’t learn a little,
at least we didn’t get sick,
and if we got sick,
at least we didn’t die;
so, let us be thankful.

-Buddha

8elements posted this, and I wanted to snag it and put it up here. This is the best prayer ever, in my humble opinion. It's attributed to the Buddha, but it flows very nicely with my worldview. Although, if it was an Erisian composition, it would probably end with "So, let us be thankful... bitches." Maybe the "bitches" is silent.

Especially WITH the "bitches."
