“You can’t discuss the ocean with a well frog, he’s limited by the space he lives in. You can’t discuss ice with a summer insect, he’s bound to a single season.”
— Zhuangzi
There are a range of people on this planet – with a range of experiences and beliefs about life.
You have your own unique experiences in life, and sometimes, if you have extraordinary experiences and try explaining them to others – they don’t understand what you’re talking about.
So, sometimes, when you have an extraordinary experience, the best thing you can do is keep it to yourself.
For me that experience would be when I ate magic mushrooms for the first time. It’s an experience that literally can’t be explained to people – even to people who’ve taken mushrooms.
I did try explaining in actually though, 10 years after that trip, here.
But I really keep that experience within myself – not needing or wanting to explain it to anyone.
