The more I value anything, the more I become obsessed with its loss.
Most of our problems are ones of opposites and the boundaries they create.
Our habitual way of trying to solve these problems is to attempt to eradicate one of the opposites.
There is not the least bit of evidence to suggest that after centuries of accentuating positives and trying to eliminate negatives, humanity isn't any happier, more content, or more at peace with itself. In fact, the available evidence suggests just the contrary: today is the "age of anxiety", of "future shock", of epidemic frustration and alienation, of boredom in the midst of wealth and meaninglessness in the midst of plenty.
There are no dividing boundaries between any things or events anywhere in the cosmos.
Every thing or event in the universe seemed to be interconnected with every other thing and event in the universe.
Quantum theory has abolished the notion of fundamentally separated objects, has introduced the notion of the participator to replace that of the observer, and has come to see the universe as an interconnected web of relations whose parts are only defined through their connections to the whole.
Today in class we lit candles, drank chamomile-lavender tea, ate dark chocolate, and painted our favorite song lyrics with watercolors.
