> I knew somebody who would talk about mindfulness just before he walked into an open pit.

Ironically (or not), there is a Buddhist story about this...

A monk comes to see his master, and announces that he had achieved perfect mindfulness.

The master said, "That is wonderful! And, when you came in, how many umbrellas were by the door?"

The monk realized he had not achieved perfect mindfulness.
