"Life can become a celebration if you know how to live without concern. Otherwise life becomes a long prolonged disease, an illness which culminates only in death.
You need to learn everything because you have forgotten your nature completely. Now psychologists are proposing that there must be training for love, because people are by and by forgetting how to love. Much literature has come into existence: 'The art of Love', 'How to Love'. People have even completely forgotten sexual orgasm, sexual ecstasy. No animal needs any training! Even trees seem to be more intelligent than you.
Everything has to be taught, even the very basics of life have to be taught. That means that somehow we are uprooted. We have lost contact with nature; a gap exists.
And if you are taught how to love, your love is going to be false. Real love should be spontaneous. How can you be taught to love? If you are taught, then you will act according to the rules and the natural flow will not be there.
Nature does not flow according to your rules; it has its own rules. You have simply to be with it, and it starts functioning. The day is not very far away when we will have to teach people how to breathe. Right now you laugh about it, but if you went back and asked Epicurus, 'Will there be a time when people will have to be taught how to achieve orgasm?' he would have laughed. Because animals achieve it without any taching; no Masters and Johnsons are needed, no Kinsy Report is needed. Animals simply love - love happens naturally."
Another excerpt from the book "When the Shoe Fits"... at least it makes me ponder about "realities" and "trivialities" about life... And perhaps it is true...!? Have we lost life itself??
