Alan Watts | Why We Resist Change

Alan Watts tells us that change is a constant. It is always happening, whether we want it or not and we should embrace change and not resist it to get the most out of life.

Go with the flow of change and do not put up barriers against it. You cannot stop the tide of it forever, as everything is always going through this process. It will only hurt you to do so. Change is life. Things come and go, but the idea is to wonder on the mystery of the why, to not destroy “yugen”.

As humans we very much notice life at it’s highest points, but neglect the bits in between. We ignore the empty spaces in life, but these spaces have to be there to highlight the existence of everything else.

“The only way to make sense of out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance”.
