Otherwise known as Rule Number 5, this is a philosophy which can keep you out of trouble.

Unfortunately, much of the world suffers from this problem. This is because they aren't enlightened.

One phrase I use with people that is similar to You are taking yourself too seriously is it ain't that deep.

People say that I take myself and things too seriously, too much to heart. That I ruin things by trying to make too much sense of them.

One friend told me that I often run at 80 MPH and look at the flowers by the side of the road and that because I see a smear of color, I think I am understanding the flowers better.

I think he knows more about me than I would like to admit .
