Way to live life

What's the easiest and best way to live life in this world?

 

The middle way

 

the path of least resistance.

 

be born as a dog.

 

Not wanting too much so if you don't get it your unhappy. Contentment is my goal.

 

As a cat...

 

your own way

 

I don't know about that...

fur-balls man! :ack2:

 

Learning to be happy with what you have and living within your means

 

Expect the worst, hope for the best... and you'll be optimistic pessimist...like me.

 

Ora et labora, with a little bit of partying.

 

Hello,

I dropped the protestant work ethic somewhere in the eighties of the last century. I became an engineer and unix hacker then and suddenly... life was good .

Ummm good for you? I don't know how it had to do anything with my post since I was merely quoting the Benedictine motto, so it obviously has nothing to do with protestants.

 

Hello,

basically, the protestant work ethic sees work as a duty, that neither should be questioned nor should work be fun. Work should be a hardship. That is not different from Benedict's motto.

Not really. It's mostly about believing that pleasure is in hard work.

 

Hello,

for the monks the meaning of work is not to get things done, but to humble their souls. Like Sisyphus they would roll a stone uphill again and again to reach this goal. I wouldn't call this pleasure of hard work.

Well okay if you know monk life so well

 

Hello,

do you?

Well, the monks don't go that far as the protestant work ethic, but the sense is the same. Maybe we should reread 'Work in Ancient and Medieval Thought' and the attached literature list to get a better view on that topic.
