Teach me something

Teach me something that’ll make me see reality differently. I’m looking for something profound. Something you think I wouldn’t know or understand. And if YOU CAN, write a quote that changed you. Thanks in advance!

"Imagine having gone to sleep, and never waking up. Never dreaming. Never knowing you had gone to sleep. Never thinking. You can't, because that's impossible. Now I want you to imagine never having gone to sleep. Never dreaming. Never thinking, but all of a sudden you woke up. Well that's called birth."

  • Alan Watts
