P - 자기중심적 사고와 탈자기중심적 사고의 사이에서
Created: 2022-06-09
No wonder it comes as a relief to be reminded of your insignificance: it’s the feeling of realizing that you’d been holding yourself, all this time, to standards you couldn’t reasonably be expected to meet. And this realization isn’t merely calming but liberating, because once you’re no longer burdened by such an unrealistic definition of a “life well spent,” you’re freed to consider the possibility that a far wider variety of things might qualify as meaningful ways to use your finite time. You’re freed, too, to consider the possibility that many of the things you’re already doing with it are more meaningful than you’d supposed.

- 자기중심적 사고를 할 수 있어야 삶에 의미를 부여하고 애착을 형성할 수 있음. 하지만 우주적 차원에서 자신이 중요하다고 여기는 것들이 실상 얼마나 중요한지 생각해 봄으로써 삶을 바라보는 새로운 조망, 자유, 평정심을 얻을 수 있음. 어느 한 극에 매몰되지 말고 두 극을 오가는 것이 중요함.
