A Living Kong-An

Life helps us. What happens in our life, difficult situations, and especially suffering, help us to go back. You cannot keep anything. But when you suffer, or see someone close to you suffer—or even if it is not personal and you just look at this world—it brings you back.

Looking at this world and what is really happening—how everything is out of balance, how people become more insane, more divided, and more angry—gives you a big question: “What is this? What is a human being? What are we doing? Where are we going? Why do people come into this world? For what? To fight? To destroy each other?”

Just living in this world gives you many big questions right away. Taking a break from all of this is necessary and healthy, but eventually, you go back to the madness. If you do not have a question, just look around.
