Philosophy Wire: Quit. That’s the boldest move you can ever do…

Only two astronauts have ever quit from NASA. The second one for ‘personal reasons’. [1] Our society celebrates boldness. We admire people who do “something” and don’t just “quit”. How wrong are we seeing things. Life is not about doing things. Life is about quitting. Life is about letting go. And accepting the cosmos as it is. The wisest and bravest people did so. Socrates was not wise because he escaped death. But because he accepted it. Christ was not God because he never died. But because He accepted death. Look at those CEOs. They will never be so successful as any stay-at-home dad. No, NASA spaceships are not flying to the stars. They are getting far away from them…

Quit! Are you bold enough?
