In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're paid by companies.

When economic conditions are booming, it can also create the perfect breeding ground for speculative price bubbles to form. That's because in such an environment, housing market participants are at greater risk of developing a case of irrational exuberance, especially if they expect that such exorbitant price gains will continue indefinitely.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first wan cowslip, wet With tears of the first morn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10539]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first wan cowslip, wet With tears of the first morn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mockery is the weapon of those who have no other. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mockery is the weapon of those who have no other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53998]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know they're not going to lose 162 consecutive games. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57657]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know they're not going to lose 162 consecutive games.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16634]]></link><description><![CDATA[The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16634</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shame on the soul, to falter on the road of life while the body yet endures ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shame on the soul, to falter on the road of life while the body yet endures]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Undertake something that is difficult; it will do you good.
