Quest we are

Repeat after me, this quest for meaning is doomed precisely because it is a quest.

That’s the Zen spiritual approach to life.

And then there’s the Western left-brain super-ego thinking approach to enlightenment.

A quest ain’t a quest unless it’s been deeply thought about as a quest, described as a quest, discussed and written about as a quest, debated as a quest, hypothesised and theorised as a quest, and even commercialised as a quest.

These are two circles that do not intersect. Any attempt to hybridise the two is a lie within a lie, wrapped up with a lie, and tossed over the fence as a lie, to gullible fools that wouldn’t know a lie from a lie.
