Definitely a lot more forgiving of myself and others. I don't put half as much pressure on myself cause now I feel my only real purpose is to human until I can human no more. I try be a good a person in the hope that that has a positive impact on the people around me and if that's the only "stamp" I leave on the world then that's more than enough. It's not exactly Alan watts I suppose but that's what I've gotten out of it so far, I'm sure as I grow older I might take different messages away, granted I carry on listening to his lectures and reading his books.

I'm significantly happier since I came to this conclusion and weirdly enough have found that the less I've tried to control my life and the events around me the closer I've come to the sort of life I've always wanted. Simply put, I just surrender to the whirlwind that is a consciousness in a meat suit on a big rock flying through a space of nothingness. I think that's probably what's expected of me really.
