The Importance of Being Present in Your Environment

The fear of that thing happening. That's what we're experiencing when we react. You can't make everyone else out there be mindful, but you can become exquisitely mindful and then, you know, dissolve the identity structures and essentially just die into presence. And it's instinctual felt at that point. That's the best shot you have to mitigate potential violence here or there. But still, there's no control. It's not like you, you can force the world around you to be peaceful. It’s not going to happen.
