A student feels unsettled by the teacher's use of the word "insanity" to describe the state of the world, wondering whether labeling things that way conflicts with fully embracing what appears.
Calling a Tree a Tree
A student feels unsettled by the teacher's use of the word "insanity" to describe the state of the world, wondering whether labeling things that way conflicts with fully embracing what appears.
When you spoke about the insanity of the world, part of me felt unsettled. If I am here to fully embrace everything as it is, how do I do that? It seems that calling what appears "insanity" leads to being judgmental about what's happening. Shouldn't we refrain from defining things as sane or insane?
Why not? Why not call a tree a tree? Why not call the unnecessary murdering of innocent people insanity? Why not call the fact that there is constant, unnecessary murdering at all insanity?
