The defining moment in my life that shifted the way I was thinking...and brought me to ubuntu.
Great question. Tough to answer.
In the sense of living and breathing and working and playing.
We all want to know that what we do in this life remains beyond our short time here. We want to know that the love that we have can live on. Or that the work we do will be seen and appreciated by future generations.
Books, music, the arts, children - they all inspire us because they result in something that keeps. on. going. We all want to keep on going.
However, having read my share of Buddhist ideologies, I also see the importance of unattachment. Of releasing expectations, control, and our death-like grip on outcomes. I am an everyday practitioner of letting go.
You can see why I often struggle with which side to give in to.
In this short video Jason Silva makes us feel okay about our passion to ache for life and all of the beauty we want to hold on to. I am a big believer in epiphanies and in being passionate about anything and everything, even if it means that we build giant dreams and crash into giant obstacles. Life, to me, is about putting everything into it, and riding the waves of hurt, laughter, tears, and, most importantly, LOVE that may come from it.
Jason, you do this properly. My great appreciation to you.
