Exactly! But what about the bliss I get from building my boat!? The splinters, the salty snarfle of water up my nose, heedless of the spiritually conflictive desire to go from
Port A to
Port B which is only yet another form of the suffering born of insufficiency and frustration? My point is, I am NEVER going to give up my dream of boat building, even if it DOES make me a bludger!!! Isn't that what spirituality, consciousness & awareness is really ALL ABOUT?
