this reminds me of exactly how I often feel/look after a holiday: #EnlightenedEnnui? ๐๐๐ #asianartmuseum #SF #art #buddhism (Taken with Instagram)
"…”A much more interesting, kind and joyful approach to life is to begin to develop our curiosity, not caring whether the object of our curiosity is bitter or sweet. To lead to a life that goes beyond pettiness and prejudice and always wanting to make sure that everything turns out on our own terms, to lead a more passionate, full, and delightful life than that, *we must realize that we can endure a lot of pain and pleasure for the sake of finding out who we are and what this world is, how we tick and how our world ticks, how the whole thing just is*. If we are committed to comfort at any cost, as soon as we come up against the least edge of pain, weโre going to run; weโll never know whatโs beyond that particular barrier or wall or fearful thing."
