“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, 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 to dance while the music was being played.” - Alan Watts With dance, dancing itself is the goal, there's no final point or destination. This is how life is. Otherwise, everyone would want to arrive at our final life destination as soon as possible. We can definitely arrive somewhere while dancing, as we're constantly moving with the dance, but arriving is not the point. It's the process of the dance itself that we enjoy while doing it.
