ATTENTION

You see this is the point.
Where we focus, what we do in the world
Matters.
Like in a car
Removing our responsibility for staying in our lane
or learning to stop before we’ve gone too far,
Matters.
This is what the eightfold path,
Right view, right effort, right
Concentration,
And so on,
Is about.
Without these,
We turn our attention over
to someone or something else
who may not have our best interests in mind.
Like driving a car and letting our mind wander
because we are being “protected” from what’s in the next lane.
Or scrolling,
Because,
Well, who knows why we do that?
You want enlightenment?
Drive the car.
That’s it.
