+Make the work easier instead of harder; how about not doing this. how about not doing  that is his way of thinking.
+Fukuoka does not particulary like the word "work". Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and he think this is the most rediculous thing in the world. Other animals make thier livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderfull they think it is. It would be good to give up that kind of thinking
+and live an easy, comfortable life with planty of free time. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to
+produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.
+  *We have come to the point at which there is no other way than to bring about a

+  *The world has become so specialized that it has become impossible for people to grasp anything in its entirety
+  *An object seen in isolation from the whole is not the real thing.
+  *If you think there is live on one side, then death is on the other. if you want to get rid of of the idea of death, then you should rid yourself of the notion that there is life on this side. Life and death are one.
+  *In nature there is life and death, and nature is joyfull. In human society there is life and death, and people live in sorrow.
+  *The direct appreciation of music is the murmuring of a stream, the sound of frogs croaking by the riverbank, the rustling of leaves in the forest, all these natural sound are music- true music
+  *The ones who see true nature are infants, they see without thinking, straight and clear.
