Wonderful (and recognisable) musings.
I have come to the point at which I recognise maybe all of life, its sole intention is to let go of everything. This cannot be advocated out loud (young people need to connect and form social communities, hold on to ideals, dreams, ambitions), but clearly it becomes senseless when older folk cling to their opinions and dull habits....Especially in the infirm and very elderly (who practically refuse to die and wither forever) we see what an "evil" grip materialism has over us all. No tougher matter to scrape out of the system than personal thought! Worse than cannabis oil!
