You are a fluke
Of the universe.
You have no right to be here.
And whether you can hear it or not
The universe is laughing behind your back.

Oh I'm in on the joke, that is why I laugh. For if god did not have a sense of humor we would not be here. I have accepted that god has a caveman sense of humor and that it must be indulged if I am to be in it's good graces.

Would anyone else consider this japanese stoicism? I've read the Book of Five Rings and there are similar concepts.

Both written by the same chap, TL;DR you take this stoicism and combine it with "one must train dilligently" and then you have your monk path ahead of you to figure out what that means. Or you can just live in society, neither is more "noble" than the other, but for some, it is their only path.
