This 13 year-old child has it right.

"The frog sat on his lily pad, completely oblivious of his pending demise. He led a simple life, sitting on lily pads and catching flies. His mental capacity was far too small to realize that there was more to life than lily pads and flies. Yet for some reason, he was satisfied with his time spent in his pond. He knew not what luxuries were, or even that they existed. So when he will be terminated the next day, he will die happy and satisfied.

No one I know lives as happily as our frog."

Hi Susan47,

That'd be because our litlle froggy friend is a true buddha, and lives totally - and only in the moment. She/he understands the meaning of impermanence and non-attachment. Lucky little froggy! :-)
