None of us is separate from the ocean, in the absolute sense. In the relative sense, it's wise to have strong open water swimming skills and a wetsuit rated for the current water temperature before diving in (I love swimming in the ocean). 😁

Of course, this is not how it works. We cannot create separation while trying to dispel the delusion of separation.🤣

Making a "hobby of outrage" instead of actively finding ways to help (not just once, but as often as arises from mindful awareness) falls into what is called "virtue signaling." That type of behavior goes against the 7th Precept. Let's all work together to find ways to take positive action. 🙏🙏🙏

It's a liberating practice to step back for a second and ask ourselves the question "Am I taking myself too seriously lately?" 🤣

"Renunciation is realizing that our nostalgia for wanting to stay in a protected, limited, petty world is insane. Once you begin to get the feeling of how big the world is and how vast our potential for experiencing life is, then you begin to understand renunciation." - Master Pema Chödrön
