I've been reading a book on Zen, its principles and history, etc. Interesting stuff. Some aspects of it can be applied, I believe, to the life of a non-practitioner, to enhance concentration and reduce stress. Still, this is not Zen, this is only knowing about Zen, and not knowing Zen.

I do not want to be satisfied into submission, tamed, find inner peace, not just yet. I need my Ego to satisfy my ambitions. Zen is not malaise, not apathy, but I can see how it could kill passions. Right now I need my passions.

Zen is no mind. A suitable alternative to a bullet.
