Re: Lack of postings

Good idea, Julia
May  I humbly offer a quote to discuss?
The quote below is a kind of stoic or Zen idea.
Is life better accepting what you cannot control
or having possibly unrealistic expectations
about things you cannot possibly control?
This was posted on alt.quotations
with no reply:
Happiness equals reality minus expectations.
Anyone know the source?
I heard it on the PBS radio show "Car Talk" with
Tom and Ray Magliozzi
BTW it's a great hour of wisdom and humor mixed with mechanics.
http://cartalk.cars.com/
I e-mailed them asking if they were the source, but I know
how busy they are.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
p.s.  Anyone have any other zen type quotes on happiness?
