Few of us would bother to explore alternative ways of seeing reality if the one we experience on a daily basis were perfect. We expect to be happy, whether we consciously admit it or not. Our urge for survival drives us on, but so does our urge for happiness and comfort. We build families, homes, companies and cities in pursuit of this comfort and contentment. But when we are on the verge of losing it, when our bodies fail so that we risk never having it again, we realize that we have everything we need within our grasp all the time, if we just open our eyes to it. That is what happened to me.
