More From David Eddings

As we grow older, we should learn that these are two quite different things. character is something you forge for yourself; temperament is something you are born with and can only slightly modify. some people have easy temperaments and weak characters; others have difficult temperaments and strong characters. we are all prone to confuse the two in assessing people we associate with. those with easy temperaments and weak characters are more likable than admirable; those with difficult temperaments and strong characters are more admirable than likable.

You can talk about things indirectly, but if you want to talk how people really talk, you have to talk r-rated. i mean i've got three incredibly intelligent daughters, but when you get mad, you get mad and you talk like people talk. when a normal 17-year-old girl storms out of the house or 15-year-old boy is mad at his mom or dad, they're not talking the way people talk on tv. unless it's cable.

How do you listen? do you listen with your projections, through your projection, through your ambitions, desire, fears, anxieties, through hearing only what you want to hear, only what will be satisfactory, what will gratify, what will give comfort, what will for the moment alleviate your suffering? if you listen through the screen of your desires, then you obviously listen to your own voice.

When you sit in a café, with a lot of music in the background and a lot of projects in your head, you're not really drinking your coffee or your tea. you're drinking your projects, you're drinking your worries. you are not real, and the coffee is not real either. your coffee can only reveal itself to you as a reality when you go back to your self and produce your true presence, freeing yourself from the past, the future, and from your worries. when you are real, the tea also becomes real and the encounter between you and the tea is real. this is genuine tea drinking.

Listen to the mustn'ts, child. listen to the don'ts. listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... anything can happen, child. anything can be.
