good luck ~ Maze
Always enjoy a good Watts (much of his approach stems from eastern thought). To counterbalance that, tend to keep Schopenhauer (not a fan) in mind, who saw the "will to power" working in the world in such a way that was not always to our best interest - inclinations, urges, and whims getting us to do things we otherwise might not (including getting married and having children).
No harm in stepping back and thinking things through. It keeps one in check from rushing towards something and giving pause, to thinking it through.
The clouds analogy is a good one...but we are not clouds. They are wonderfully ethereal. Definitely appreciate that.
There are no easy answers. And we shouldn't expect one.
Watts would have appreciated that.
