Society is made up of individuals;
so if individuals are completely neurotic and unhappy and don't have any energy and joy,
then society is just going to be like that.
So I think it's really important for people to kind of cultivate that joy and that openness.
And also in terms of activism, I can see around me a lot of friends that are activists
and they just get completely exhausted by that kind of social work.
They get really overwhelmed by despair and sadness and anger.
And they- I mean they put so much energy into their work,
but if they had a solid ground I think from which to act,
which I think meditation practice can be,
I think it would just give even more strength,
even more..., even kind of more power to the social action they’re doing.
