"...just more "stuff." You are better off with nothing than more stuff. Absolutely nothing. In fact get rid of the stuff you already have. Do you ever see people with nothing being accused of hording, greed, gluttony, corruption, selfishness etc. No? Well of course not. They are clean nothing to spoil. When you have nothing you are free. Free with a universe of opportunity at your feet. Nothing to protect, nothing to corrupt, nothing to lose. Nothing is the best juncture to a fresh break you will ever find. Nothing is the scene upon which ever great circumstance becomes possible. Nothing is what makes everything possible. Get rid of those dirty old things that've got you bogged down. Specially that big pile of bread you been sittin' on all these years. Send that nasty stuff to me. I'll get rid of it for you.

"Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old man. "You always feel like you have to pee and most of the time you stand there and nothing comes out." "Ah, that's nothin," said the 70-year-old. "When you're seventy, you don't have a bowel movement any more. You take laxatives, eat bran, sit on the toilet all day and nothin' comes out!" "Actually," said the 80-year -old, "Eighty is the worst age of all." "Do you have trouble peeing, too?" asked the 60-year old. "No, not really I pee every morning at 6:00. I pee like a racehorse on a flat rock; no problem at all." "So, do you have a problem with your bowel movement?" "No, I have one every morning at 6:30." With great exasperation, the 60-year-old said, "Let me get this straight. You pee every morning at 6:00 and have a movement every morning at 6:30. So what's so bad about being 80?" "I don't wake up until 7:00."
