“If I hide out at Cold Mountain living off mountain plants and berries- all my life, why worry? Days and months by like water, time is like sparks knocked off flint. Go ahead and let the world change- I'm happy to sit among these cliffs”.
This is a good example of how people now days should be. They shouldn’t worry about every little thing that goes on in their lives but instead enjoy every second of life they have been given. They should go to their happy place which for Snyder was his state of mind Cold Mountain and not have a worry in the world. “One follows his karma through” is also very important. Since he is alone he has no one else to worry about and no one else to affect so whatever he does will only affect him.
