If we remove ourselves from the world, we are pretending that we can follow our own individual enlightenment and let the rest of the world go to hell, so to speak. ~Satish Kumar
That's some thoughtful words. I too believe, is it really possible for us to remove ourselves from this world....we can only think about it but the actual action I believe is in our destiny!
How wonderful to know that I can always pop by for a beautiful thought or two and today's is definitely not disappointing. Have missed you lots, Getzapped. Hope you've been well. :-) with love.
I suppose that's what happens to selfish people, when it becomes "all about us." I think if we're truly enlightened then we never get the attitude that we don't need anyone else, so why remove yourself from the world? Like Palona says, we can pretend to. I think that we could never reach enlightenment if we did.
I enjoy the outdoors, where I gather much of my creative inspiration. I find it necessary to spend time in nature, for balance and sanity. Get Zapped is where I post my photos accompanied by quotes I find intriguing. Get Zen is for sharing my Illustrations, design work, poetry, and other creative outlets. Thanks for stopping by.

polona- pretending is an effort some people really work at...good point.
kalyan- well, true we all eventually leave in the physical sense, but I like to think our soul still resides, some how.
kmf - thanks
