RE: Life - Death - Meditation -One of the most important Questions you need to ask yourself- And what Steve Jobs was incompetent at

in #buddhism7 years ago

I don't see it as becoming more productive and using our time more efficiently it's about not taking life too seriously.

To me they go hand in hand. A relaxed fist hits harder than a clenched fist. When you really don't mind what happens..... at least in my case I naturally focus on the things that does the most impact. That's how I quit school. I was one of the best students and that was by merely putting 20%(or even lees) of the effort of your average "A" for everything student.

Now I spend most my time reading, researching, watching and playing while earning as much as my average friend's income (without counting those who are still in college) I had to pass through a major fallout from practically everyone I knew. But it was worth it. If I'm going to die anyways, I've got to make my living time count. So there are things I must avoid and there are things I must favor.

Having to live a life over and over is less terrifying to me. What's more chilling is the loss of maturity. If death was just changing robes I won't have a huge problem with it. Death acts like a reset button. That's what draw me into the ending of life-death cycle. Death is the biggest obstacle I know for spiritual development.
