Doing from being
Most of us are deeply attached to doing. From a young age, that is what our culture teaches us.
When I was 23 I took a detour into being. I had a feeling there was more to life than just running from one empty achievement to another.
When all you know is doing, learning to be brings you a little bit closer to the truth.
However, when you then become too enamored with being, it can lead you down a route of nihilism and reckless self-sufficiency.
So what I am learning next is to do from being. And I know that is where it all comes together.
