#160: The nonsense divide
Last week I told you about being charged by a lioness.
The funny thing is that she charged because of her cubs and we were saved because of her cubs. She charged to get us away from her cubs and stopped to check where her cubs were going. Then she charged again and stopped again.
That’s what nonsense moments do. They come at you and back off, charge again and stop, until you wake up, until you see the nonsense.
The scary thing about a nonsense moment is that it opens up a divide in your mind, whether you realize it or not. It gets you thinking about what matters to you, about the meaning in your life, and it gets you wanting to live that more meaningful life.
And so on the one side is what others want you to do and to be. And on the other side is what you feel is right for you.
Welcome to the nonsense divide.
