When Life Hurts, Care Less About It — Alan Watts

DESCRIPTION When life hurts, caring less does not mean becoming indifferent. It means loosening the anxious grip of control, possession, and the demand for certainty. This reflection explores the difference between holding life with a closed fist and meeting change with an open hand. By allowing difficult feelings to be present and caring less about preserving every form, we may become more attentive, honest, courageous, and deeply connected to the present moment.
