How to go crazy in one simple step: Stand still.

I was thinking about the issue of collecting experience that I discussed a few days ago.

I realized that the most important assumption is “life is a process”.

Life is is not a single decision.

This is a reason why I am uncomfortable with absolute rules. An absolute rule treats life as a single decision. It implies that there is a single question that says “I’ve decided for all possible situations in life that the answer to every single situation is xyz.”

I would argue we all know that this is false. Life isn’t like that. Life is not static. Life is change.

Even the absolute laws that seem plainly “True” need to be considered in terms of process, of a life that is change.

As soon as you deny this fact, that life is change, everything goes crazy in the worst ways.
