If I could have a conversation with anyone from history, Alan Watts would be my pick.
Just imagine the energy and enlightenment such a conversation would bring.

"Isn't it odd that anything exists? Would it not have been easier to just have nothing at all?" - Alan Watts

He died before I was even born but still he helped me out with my depression <3

[trakonsix]

Because we simply cheated ourselves a whole way down the line. We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or dance while the music was being played.
- Alan Watts

These words changed the way how I saw life ♥️

I "grew out" of listening to Alan but he was my first "teacher" I found and followed online. It's nice to see him getting some attention and that lots of people are fond of him. Still, the teacher is the finger pointing at the Moon. Don't get obsessed by the finger.

Alan watts was who got me into philosophy when I was 14, I started listening to him just to sound smart and cool, but eventually I really started to listen to what he was saying and trying to understand it. Opened my eyes to other perspectives of life
