you gave love a bad name
"Being a college professor, especially at this time that of so many millennials, I see them really floundering, struggling to find some identity, there is a lot of sinister-ism, a lot of a.. everything's been tried and nothing worked. And a kind of drowning in an absolute relativism of truth. There is you know.. everybody just makes up their own. And that bothers me you know. I see them going through it and it's painful to watch. And so in the same way that, since I teach in an art college they are always saying - I wish people could define 'art' bigger - then I find myself saying I wish you could define 'spirituality' bigger. Because so many of them are not attracted to spirituality, they see it as a light and love and rainbows and butterflies and they're really turned off by that, really turned off by that. And some of them you know will be talking to me and they'll say 'oh man I was at this Slayer concert the other night and you know it was timeless and I felt connected to everything.’ Then I keep trying to say to them, what I would want to pass on is - well if you say there are spiritual people and there are non-spiritual people and this is a spiritual place and this isn't a spiritual place, then all of these divisions are just in your mind, that every place is a spiritual place, every moment is a spiritual moment, every opportunity is a learning opportunity." - Dana Sawyer
