I ask you this, what can we do for ourselves in the absence of our world? Let me quantify this question. First, let us assume that our world is made up of our creature comforts, our pleasures, our vices, our instruments of distraction. In short, ‘our world’ gets in the way of experiencing ‘the world’.
So, by design, if we take away the elements of our world and tear down the walls of our comfort, what is at the core? When we are alone with our own mind, without distraction, can we be at peace or are we struggling to bear the eerie silence. Do we crave distraction?
I pondered this thought as I was drinking coffee at a local breakfast joint here in town. I have gone about a month without a television, without an online game, without any of the countless items that became who I was. For me, the process has been amazing and is continually evolving.
So, now, I ask…
In the absence of our world, what can we do for ourselves? I say simply, “much.”
