Tetrapharmakos


Let me repeat, "we" don't have to go to Bali to get in balance. We don't have to study an Eastern religion to find (y)ourselves. We don't have to use drugs or another 'soma' to be happy.

The recipe for leading the happiest possible life is right here - since 4th century BC - in Europe. And its Ancient Greek cook is Epicurus. His 'four-part cure' is:
Don't fear god,
Don't worry about death;
What is good is easy to get,
What is terrible is easy to endure.

More - a Chinese garden of course: here.
