People turn to meditation because they want to make good decisions, break bad habits & bounce back better from disappointments. People turn to meditation because they want to make good decisions, break bad habits & bounce back better from disappointments. Meditation is not for self-discipline. It is not about making us better people.
It is not about becoming better people. The truth of the matter is that meditation is not for anyone that wants to be a better person. No one can become a better person by meditating.
That is like saying you can become a better person by eating vegetables. So, what is it? What is meditation?
