The Rat Race
The trouble with the rat race (the competition for intellect, wealth or power) is that even if we win, we’re still a rat. π
Spiritual progress is knowing when we have had enough of this obsessive exhausting, repetitive lifestyle that leaves no time for contemplation, true inner peace or a friendly chat about what is important.
If we live in a rat race of competitiveness we can’t be authentic, and we lose touch with the things that are most important β life outside the rat race. π
