Meditation of The Day - WAR: What is It Good For?

 WHY FIGHT? - ALAN WATTS

One of my great gurus and thinkers I most respected and still do . . . . 

“We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.” ― Alan Watts
