@LPNH @bern_identity I got a job working in a warehouse when I was 15. Worked there until I was 17. Helped teach me the value of hard work. Helped me understand what I do and don’t want to do with my life.

He might be using a drastic example to illustrate the importance of creating space to quiet the mind, so that one is more able to think about things and experience the present moment.

I know it’s “cool” to trash on email, but the reality is that it’s incredibly useful. Sure, email can be gross (like anything), but that’s because the sender hasn’t been thoughtful. Email can forge new partnerships, land fruitful deals, and teach an audience. I love email.
