“Humour allows us to see that ultimately things don't make sense. The only thing that truly makes sense is letting go of anything we continue to hold on to. Our ego-mind and emotions are a dramatic illusion. Of course, we all feel that they're real: my drama, your drama, our confrontations. We create these elaborate scenarios and then react to them. But there is nothing really happening outside our mind! This is karma's cosmic joke. You can laugh about the irony of this, or you can stick with your scenario. It's your choice.” FeelsMindRealChoicesCoursesEmotionLaughingHumourDramaLetting GoEgoLaughterHappeningsJokesIllusionUltimateSticksKarmaMake SenseIronyDramaticAllowingCosmicHolding OnScenariosConfrontationReacting Author:Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
“Drama's not safe and it's not pretty and it's not kind. People expect the basic template of television drama where there might be naughty villains, but everyone ends up having a nice cup of tea. You've got to do big moral choices and show the terrible things people do in terrible situations. Drama is failing if it doesn't do that.” PeopleIfsKindEndsShowsBigsMightChoicesSituationMoralNiceFailingTelevisionTerribleDramaSafeCupsTeaVillainTerrible ThingsNaughtyCups Of TeaNot PrettyKind PeopleMoral ChoicesTelevision Drama Author:Russell T Davies
“Free will is something that people struggle with so much, but it's very simple to me.

“I'm afraid, as true as love is, it is tested by circumstance and sometimes you don't make the best choices. As much as the fans claim [that] all they want is just want people sitting around and having a nice time together, trust me, you would not be watching the show if there wasn't conflict, if there wasn't drama, if there wasn't jeopardy.

“I had no choice but to make me as a comedian, because I am not particularly gifted with a lot of marketable skills. Unless I really want to spend the rest of my life temping, or teaching drama to third-graders, I don't have a lot of other options - which is freeing, in a way.

“Consciousness is a pitiful hostage of its flesh-envelope, whose surges, circuits, and secret murmurings it cannot stay or speed. This is the chthonian drama that has no climax but only an enedless round, cycle upon cycle. Microcosm mirrors macrocosm. Free will is stillborn in the red cells of our body, for there is no free will in nature.
