Then why are we chasing all these goals?
Because we love living in gaols!
Because we think something fine will come along one fine day and set us free to be: AS WE ARE!
But since we are doing all that now to get something in the future over here, it will never come to us because as DOGEN ZENJI SAID:
TIME FLOWS FROM THE PRESENT TO THE PAST!
EVEN AS WE LIVE IN THE PRESENT WE ARE BUSY RE-LIVING AND REVIVIFYING THE MEMORIALS OF THE PAST TO BECOME MAUSOLEUMS AND MONUMENTS TO OUR MISTAKEN IDEATIONS OF IDEOLOGIES, IDENTITIES, INTENTIONALITIES, NATIONALITIES, NATIONHOOD, NEIGHBOURHOOD, BROTHERHOOD, HOODWINKING, REGIONALITIES, ETHNICITIES, FEROCITIES, VIOLENCES, VILIFICATIONS, RECTIFICATIONS ONLY TO REALIZE LATER MUCH TOO MUCH LATER THAT LIKE RECTIFIED SPIRIT
RECTIFIED SPIRIT in evaporates IN THE KEEPING OFF!
So you will find it was all a total waste of time life and freedom to be: as it is in the present!
