Religion

There's much to admire in it, and I've adopted some of its concepts in my life. For me, mindfulness is the most important concept. It can expand to hold most of the rest, really.

I'm not much for formal systems of thinking, really. They have never seemed necessary to me. I have no use for concepts of mind that continue beyond physical death, either. I don't see the utility of that.

I guess I'm someone who tries to live in the present, with mindfulness, and to contemplate the past as a lesson, and to wonder what lies ahead, but not to plan overmuch. So far, that has all worked to keep me sane and steady on my path. That path changes constantly, and has done so all my life, so I try not to have fixed ideas of what the future will be. The Now is sufficiently interesting.
