Why I meditate

I meditate to be able to be happy, at peace, content

– Under any circumstances

I believe we are potentially at risk of heading towards very difficult, dark, turbulent days

An uncertain future

And even though I am likely one of the most privileged, I am not sure I will be completely saved from the turmoil that may be coming

Climate change, AI, growing polarization and conflicts

I will need to let go of attachments

Will need to work under difficult conditions

Will need to be comfortable with it

Find happiness in it

To save the world you cannot run away from the challenges of the world

You must face them head first

With calm determination, hard work and compassion

With gratitude, humility and happiness

I also want to be a father, and raise my own kids to be beautiful and loving individuals

THAT is what I am practicing for
