Talking to God, But Who is Yours?

For the sake of posting a blog, let me quote from Eric Weiner’s “The Geography of Bliss”

“Who is my God? His is not a name I expected. Ambition. ..When Ambition is your God, the office is your temple, the employee handbook is your holy book. The sacred drink is coffee, imbibed 5 times a day. You rise early and kneel before the God Ambition, facing the direction of your PC…”

hahahahahaha. On a quest to happiness, exploring alternative sources of happiness worldwide, Eric Weiner blurts out some pretty funny stuff. Why are liberal Westerners sooo scared of religion?

In the very words of Rinpoche (Bhutanese Dalai Lama whom Weiner interviews) ” if you seek proof for faith, you will never attain enlightenment”

Love this book!
