I know people get wrapped up in the idea of enlightenment and seek it, searching for it and strictly doing spiritual practises every day to try and achieve it, but how can you aim for something if you don’t know what it is? And how will you know when you’ve gotten there?
How can you know you want it if you don’t even know what it is lol?
Better to just live your life and see where it takes you IMO.

I like your irreverent posts!
good points you make herein... yeah while I'm not a big fan of 'enlightenment' per se I do think the journey one takes can be much more interesting than the place one supposes one wants to be...
