This is important to remember. I kind of think that the real meaning of life is learning to let go. I went through a time where Stoicism was really attractive. I’m now more transitioning to Taoism. I love your blog man. Keep going.

Matthew, your encouragement came at an amazing time! Thank you

That need to let go is what I learned from years of being an angry athiest... Western philosophy is obsessed with logic, which can only take you so far.

Thank you, Aaron, for writing today. Today's piece reminded me of Solomon's saying: "Everything is meaningless." I think we do need to try to stop thinking we have all the answers. Instead I think we need to be open and receptive. I cherish your talking to the animals and finding peace. It is the News that unsettles. When we can get to our core, we can find peace. I look forward to reading more of your perspectives, Aaron.

Barbara, thank you so much for taking the time to encourage someone you don't know! I'm so happy that you enjoyed what you read, and I look forward to interacting with you further!

That's my beef with philosophy... It's 90% talk. Just blah blah blah blah blah. We need a new narrative! We need living, breathing philosophy.
