About This Quote
The western mind makes definitions with all the things that it thinks it knows. The western mind thinks that there are already defined concepts which it needs to understand. The western mind also thinks that with these definitions, it has already found meaning in life as well as meaning in the universe. In reality, these concepts that the western mind holds on to are not absolute but have a subjective interpretation based on one’s cultural background and personal experience.
