00:00Everything that you do must be in the shadow of this question, what is it for?
00:05My time is limited.
00:06What did I do it for?
00:07Again, this does not go well with traditional spirituality that says that life has to be
00:12purposeless.
00:13Purposelessness etc. are stuff that must happen only at the absolute end, where we all usually
00:24stand life must be very purposeful and questions must be pointedly asked.
00:30I spent this evening, a full three and a half hours, doing this, right in the middle of
00:36a movie.
00:37Why can't we ask ourselves?
00:38The ticket is already bought.
00:40The money is gone.
00:41It's a sunk cost.
00:42Am I getting something?
00:43If not, why must I not walk away?
00:46This walking away, this dropping, this letting go, this renunciation is at the core of all
00:52spirituality.
00:53Drop, drop, drop.
00:55Ruthlessly learn to give up what has no use.
