All must pass...


Some people complain that knowledge of mentalism or belief in it cuts off the enjoyment of life and blunts the keenness with which we meet it.

I answer: Is their enjoyment of a play at the theatre cut off in any way by their knowledge that it too is only a series of ideas?

Are their feelings blunted because the whole show is only the imagination of some author sitting in his study?

Are they less able to appreciate its drama, its humor, or its pathos because they know that, like every other thought, it must pass and end?
