Alan W. Watts Quotes
To Put It Still More Plainly: The Desire For Security And The Feeling Of Insecurity Are The Same Thing. To Hold Your Breath Is To Lose Your Breath.
We Worry Because We Feel Unsafe, And Want To Be Safe. Yet It Is Perfectly Useless To Say That We Should Not Want To Be Safe. Calling A Desire Bad Names Doesn't Get Rid Of It. What We Have To Discover Is That There Is No Safety, That Seeking It Is Painful, And That When We Imagine That We Have Found It, We Don't Like It. In Other Words, If We Can Really Understand What We Are Looking For - That Safety Is Isolation, And What We Do To Ourselves When We Look For It - We Shall See That We Do Not Want It At All. No One Has To Tell You That You Should Not Hold Your Breath For Ten Minutes. You Know That You Can't Do It, And That The Attempt Is Most Uncomfortable.
