- A man: I want happiness.
- Buddha: First remove "I", that's ego, then remove "want", that's desire. See? Now you are left with happiness.
- Mom: are you ready to leave
- Me: yeah hold on
- 5 minutes later
- Me: Okay I'm ready
- Mom: Okay, but first I have to curl my hair, walk the dogs, watch Gone With The Wind, read this novel, cook enough food for the entire country of Africa, run a 5k marathon, write out my life story by hand, and take a nap
