Finding The answer Be Relinquishing The Search By Andrew Machon
The text challenges our tendency to constantly seek answers and problem-solve, suggesting that this approach may contribute to the feeling of our lives being problematic. It questions whether we truly want to see the world in black and white or if we are more interested in the shades and colors of life. The text proposes that the answer we seek cannot be found through endless seeking and problem-solving. It encourages us to consider what we truly wish for and whether our incessant judgment and analysis bring us closer to that wish. It highlights the negative consequences of judgment, such as anxiety and tension, and invites us to imagine what we might discover if we let go of the need to judge. The text emphasizes the desire for inner peace and the possibility of finding it beyond our compulsion to judge. The image of the boat finding sanctuary and the Northern Lights blessing the act of resting symbolize the value of resisting the temptation to constantly seek and travel. It concludes by suggesting that the answer we seek may be found when we learn to end our need for further searching and judgment, leading to a more peaceful and appreciative existence.
