“People will happily pay to be distracted.”
The Chemical Buddha noticed how people would pay a lot to not have to think about things. The movies, sporting events, self-help books and retreats, and on and on. People would shell out big bucks to to pretend life is better than it is. And none of this includes the billions of dollars people spent using drugs to check out of their lives. TCB couldn’t figure out what people thought was wrong with their life. Why did it bother them so much they didn’t want to think about? For The Chemical Buddha's whole life was a distraction from his distractions which somehow made sense to him. And he would tell you that, if you could have held his attention long enough to ask.
What do you use to distract yourself?
What are you trying to distract yourself from?
What would happen if you didn’t distract yourself and just felt/paid attention to your life?
