Do not over burden your mind.
It does no good to dwell in the past
nor worry about the future.
Just abide in the simplicity of the present moment.
Do Good,
Take Life easy
Don't Stress Yourself out,
And Don't be a Jerk to others.
This is the teaching of The Dude.
Everything else is just commentary.
May we add "Don't be a Dick"?
That's part of the "Don't be a Jerk to others" verse.
I was a teen crisis counselor for a few years, and the parting advice I always gave my clients was "keep things simple and don't be a dick. If something is going wrong, chances are you've broken one of those two rules."
Fuckin A Man! Those are awesome words to live by! :)
