Life is very easy. Simply follow the Noble Ninefold Path, as follows.
- Breathe in and out. Do not stop breathing. Avoid places where the air seems foul to the eyes or nose. You'll know.
- When you feel thirst, drink, preferably unmurky water with the least smell and taste possible. You'll figure this out.
- When you feel hunger, eat food, but avoid anything that makes you feel sick afterwards. You'll learn.
- When you feel pressure in your bladder, relieve yourself, preferably in a private place to avoid possible stressful conflict with others. Be mindful of others; follow local custom. If you don't know, you'll learn.
- When you feel pressure in your abdomen, relieve yourself, preferably in a private area to avoid probable stressful conflict with others. Just always find a private spot, and, if you happen to be outside, never reach for poison oak or ivy afterwards. You'll learn.
- When you feel sleepy, sleep, preferably with moderation and not in the middle of an activity. You'll know or someone will tell you.
- Move sometimes.
- Sit sometimes.
- Think sometimes. You'll know.
There are also optional activities that some think vital, but they are not, strictly speaking, necessary for an easy life; in fact, it is often felt that some of them actually make for a less easy life. All of this is up to your discretion and good sense.
