âThis is waterâ is one of the most powerful talks I have ever heard and I have revisited it many times over the years. David Foster Wallace is the embodiment of knowing you have a choice in life and not being able to make the choice of life (he committed suicide). Choosing how and what to think is hard, but it defines you more than anything. It creates the world you live in - the proverbial water you swim in. But a mere conceptual understanding is not enough. You have to practice. âThe freedom of a real education - of learning how to be well-adjusted - is that you get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesnât. That is real freedom, that is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is unconsciousness. The default setting. The rat race.â âThe real value of a real education, which has almost nothing to do with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awarenessâ. Happy ApE shows the way to real peace, real harmony and real happiness. á(á)á Follow me to learn more or visit website - link in bio. #thisoswater #davidfosterwallace #Volume15 #Volume34 #Volume71 #korsbaek.info #korsbaek #korsbĂŚk #artpsychologybusinesslife #doodle #art #drawing #tegning #kunst #sketchs #sketch #drawings #fineliner #finelinerart #illustration #lineart #psychology #happyape #meditation #life #mindfulness #vipassana #enlightenment #personaldevelopment #choice #happy https://www.instagram.com/p/CEbAOJMhqs4/?igshid=n9uiz5a2gd8k
