The Good Life Is Not a Buffet

We need to recognize that the good life is not a buffet. Our answers to all the smaller sub-questions need to fit together. If we love what medieval Christian theologian Julian of Norwich has to say about one thing and what modern Buddhist teacher Tikhnad Han have to say about another, we can't just assume the two pieces will fit together. We can't borrow pieces of what they have to say without thinking seriously to make sure that the pieces we've borrowed actually fit together.
