proQ, you're completely right. I think meditation is the key to keeping track of your true self in a world where your identity is constantly being challenged.
also, we are nothing in the grand scheme of things. Our entire existence is like a single cell on our bodies. It's just a decimal of the whole, meaning everything until it means nothing at all. indisposable until it's disposed. At the same time our world IS everything and it does matter becuase it's all we know and will ever have.
and garden, the path is an awesome place to explore and travel
