Big Business as Usual

[bahman]

So: I got the family, the friends, the enemies...where do I find the wise person to help me with my pesky lack of proportion?

You are asking for Divine Justice! You are the Man. You can gain It through the practice of Good and Evil in any situation. Remember the Rule of Karma. You are doing right if you are close to peace of mind, if you are troubled then you did something wrong.

Cool, so I don't have to consult a guru...

The ancients Greeks said "the fox is not fed by admiring the vine."

How do we stop being the fox?
