    Finally, the reason for under achievement! It explains all those cars on concrete blocks in the southern US. I could change the tires, but I certainly don't have to finish the job. I will just live stresslessly without transportation and collect welfare from people who have goals and achievements. Life is bliss!

    From the page: "Zen asks us to do a very strange thing. It asks us to 'act without acting'. What does this mean? ... "Let's get straight. 'Intentionless Action' seems to be a paradox. What we're being asked to do is to live our lives with no goals in mind. The reason? Clinging to these goals creates a state of constant anxiety, where we structure our physical and mental life so that we will either 'succeed' or 'fail'. If we succeed, we're pleased, and if we fail, we suffer."
