You can have peace of mind here and now.
Diogenes 'Dog' of Sinope (Cynic) and Alexander the Great of Macedonia
Alexander (in a tempestuous mood): arise peasant don't you know who am I?
Diogenes (scornfully and sarcastically): who do you think are to demand deference?
Alexander: (megalomaniac laugh) I'm your king, who'll soon dominate Persia.
D: what for?
A: Glory, a lasting reputation, happiness
D: Then what?
A: Asia
D: What for?
A: More of the above
D: What will you when there are no world's left to conquer?
Narrator: Then Alexander did weep for he hadn't conquered yet one world.
D: I've all those things in my character where moth and rust doth not corrupt. I sleep in jars and temples. All my possessions I carry in this napsack. I'm a Dr of the soul I teach people that their faulty knoweldge claims about social conventions causes emotional disturbance.
