Attentiveness is the path to true life;
Indifference is the path to death.
The attentive do not die;
The indifferent are as if they are dead already.
-Dhammapada
James's comment: Often Buddhism is seen as nihilism. However, I think that this quote from the Dhammapada helps show that it is not. It is rather non-attachment then nihilism. The middle way of neither attaching to or rejecting anything.
