The point of this message is not to become uninvolved in your life, or that because life can be painful, we should somehow remove ourselves from it. It’s the contrary. Life is too beautiful to be solely preoccupied with our own mental drama. Life is too great and too vast to spend our time colored by our own judgment and prejudice about what’s happening around us. If we have any shot to become truly intimate with life, we have to be able to see it for what it is and the impermanent nature of all things. This is the journey from compulsion to choice, from reaction to responding… from suffering to freedom 🤍🤍
