It certainly wouldn’t suit everyone and yet we can all learn something from the extreme actions of others. After watching this, I wondered if they had actually learned that much about empathy, after all.
The statement: “you are not your thoughts” is also a little nonsensical
There is no question that we are are thoughts, and sometimes we can seek to rest for a little while, from ourselves. Also, during this time, we can see ourselves a little more objectively. There is value in this.
For me, meditation is about gentleness, and an appreciation of the fragile nature of mind. We must always treat ourselves (and others) very gently and respectfully.
