WHEN FORTUNE SMILES: Some thoughts about felicity

IMAGE:

	If you can laugh like a six-year-old,
	dream like a sixteen-year-old,
	love like a twenty-six-year-old,
	plan like a thirty-sixty-year-old,
	and nurture others like a sixty-six-year-old,
	you are indeed fortunate.

Brice:   (shrugging his shoulders) Like most poetry, this is simply nonsense.

Anya:    It certainly makes an over-generalization error. Not all sixty-six-year-olds
         are nurturing and not all sixteen-year-olds dream boldly.

Devani:  (pausing, then with a distinct Hindi accent) Actually, we need more nonsense.
         Literally speaking, nonsense implies "transcending the senses." We should
         transcend all senses to reach a state of pure Atman, or transcendent being.

Carlos:  (laughing) Sense or nonsense, you certainly have a way of spinning words!
