Episode notes
Interruptions are seen as the real life that is sent to us every day, regardless of one's beliefs; it is a matter of perception. The distinction between interruptions and regular life is a concept humans impose on reality, similar to the distinction between weeds and non-weeds in a garden according to Buddhist psychology. It is not wrong to make these distinctions but important to realize that they are conceptual overlays on reality.
