to be wholly aware of being – doing no more than need be done to be and let be with love, compassion, joy, and equanimity – is to be in the realm of the brahmaviharas, beyond wanting purpose or meaning
to be wholly aware of being is to want no more
to want anything is to suffer
cures new and old promise to end the suffering
the purpose of life is to be wholly aware of being and – in light of this awareness – to harm no being: doing no more than need be done to be and let be
— George Atherton (@notrehta) July 13, 2018
the work of life is to cultivate this awareness
and the meaning of life is to live with love, compassion, joy, and equanimity
being well is being aware – being wholly aware of being – wanting nothing
be well, want nothing
want nothing, be well
