Watts Wednesday
Time for another Watts Wednesday... despite the fact it has been a couple of months since I've done one. If you didn't know or you are new to my content, I've started making posts every Wednesday regarding speeches and quotes of different philosophers to commemorate their great work as well as give my view on the message that they are trying to convey.
I'll try and stay on top of Watts Wednesday but I've been pretty busy regarding teaching so I am not promising anything haha.
Alan Watts - We Are Not Separate
My Thoughts
I think for the length of our life we are forced and embedded with powerful invocations and incantations that stop us being unified as one body. we have a tendency to as society and humans pick out the differences in each other and belittle or magnify them with pride creating huge disparities.
However, it does not matter what background or creed you're from, we are all interdependent of each other and without each other we would be nothing. If we did not acknowledge this it most undoubtedly would result in the end of humanity as we all know it.
In true essence we all have some form of symbiotic relationship with everybody, helping individuals to define one another without us even realising.
Without knowing the features and character of somebody else you would not know how to exemplify yourself and be given this state of being referred as 'I' or 'you'. One cannot exist without the other.
