According to Osho, Murphy’s great sutras are playful wisdoms: love helps but isn’t enough; we only have ourselves and each other; politicians never tell the whole truth—usually about money; facts are solidified opinions that can melt; truth is elastic; the other line moves faster; work beats job-hunting; we trip on molehills; people muddle truth and lies; three ages end with “You look fine”; paradoxes on drink, audiences, baldness, procrastination—and the dying advice: don’t sit down.
Murphy’s funny rules say life is ironic and messy—be skeptical, expect quirks, enjoy what you can, and keep your humor.
