The Importance of Confrontation

I think about some of my favorite philosophers or spiritual thinkers, people like Anthony D'Amello or Alan Watts and Capil Gupta. And when I think about the wisdom that they talk about quite often, it has something to do with a willingness to hold the material world loosely. You know, I'm not a brain floating through the world. But also, it doesn't mean that everything is literal and quantifiable. In fact, every time that I've tried to quantify what it means to be living a meaningful life, whatever that looks like, good luck trying to make a pro and con list out ofwhat it means to live a meaningful life.
