Desiderata for the New Millennium

Partly tounge in cheek advice for living in the modern world

Keep your head up,
pay attention
to your entire field of vision,
and never carry a weapon
you're not prepared to use.
Don't attract attention.
Blend in, but be yourself,
because ultimately
it's all you've got.
Choose wisely,
attachment breeds suffering
but without it
life is meaningless.
Suffer fools gladly,
avoid confrontation,
and always be prepared to die.
Any moment could be your last.
Nothing really matters
but every move counts,
act like you know what you're doing
and maybe it will help.
