The next time you feel happy...
'Dear Milk Streeter,
When I was in Zurich recently, I visited a Buddhist monastery just outside of town. It had a spectacular view of a narrow pine-forested valley, and the presiding monk explained some Buddhist philosophy to us. My favorite comment was, “The next time you feel happy, enjoy it. It won’t last!” He went on to say unhappiness in life is due to unrealistic expectations. Yup—true that!
Oddly enough, the best thing I ate in Zurich was a roast beef sandwich from a street vendor. The proprietor had a long smoker on wheels and served the warm meat on a crispy baguette with chimichurri. Divine!'>>>
