"Even the finest books deserve to be thrown aside" - This is the last line of the book I recently read - How Proust can change your life, written by Alain De Botton, he quotes Marcel Proust here.
The book overall was heavy for me but this ending line has caught my attention.
Doing my self assessment as usual with each of these philosophical thought I think I am caught up with the books I have read, the theories, the periodic battle of to be or not to be; it is time that throw all of this aside, there is much to life which needs to be experienced, the books, the theories can only take me to a small distance, beyond that I have to traverse myself.
What holds back that experience is mental conditioning, the fears of different hues, the judgements and the desire of being desirous.
It is time to shed the skin, and take another leap, wear the new skin...
