“We need people like Watts and others to remind us that we don’t have to settle”
I first saw Alan Watts video a long time ago, heard him ask me, “What makes you itch? What sort of a situation would you like?”. I listened to him. He certainly wasn’t the first to tell me to follow my bliss, to pursue my dreams. [...] We need people like Watts and others to remind us that we don’t have to settle. We don’t have to live someone else’s idea of a good life. We can live our own.
