Nice videos!
The image of the dead fox in the first video reminded me of this Sigor Ros video,
Ekki múkk (10 minutes, warning, contents are very New Age, and not suitable for a closed minded audience

).

Harry Browne referred to happiness as "a mental state of well-being."
I always loved that description. It's so compact, and yet so nuanced.

Harry was a wise man.

Just listened to this talk on arguments and truth by one of my favorite lecturers Ajahn Brahm from the Buddhist Society of Western Australia. He is refreshingly entertaining and insightful on this topic which could benefit many of us on this forum (like myself especially) who get caught up in being right. Being comfortable with being wrong certainly brings harmony and peace...

I'm only 15:34 into it but I love what he's saying. Very refreshing.
