At every moment, you have the oportunity to crap out and not do it and run away from it, or to move to the next moment.,  The world will always tell you to play it safe and just be dead.  You know, roll over and play dead.  On the other hand, I suggest that you're capable of doing things you can't conceive of, that most of life is really that way, but this world we exist in is populated by people who have really shut themselves off from life.  They've destroyed their environment, by and large.  They've eliminated most other species on the planet, which is just an indication of their sloppiness and their deadness and their oblivion - but even more so, they've cut themselves off from happiness.   - "Peak Experiences", Tantric Buddhism
