If you don’t know who Alan Watts is yet, let us introduce you. He is considered one of the leading interpreters of Eastern philosophy for the modern Western world. He has an incredible way of explaining the essence of the self, the being and the soul through writing. He often illustrates complex and beautiful thoughts in simple ways, which make a deep impact with a couple of words.
His excerpts are awakening, inspirational and thought-provoking. Read on to get you daily dose of enlightenment. We promise these are not your everyday, average cliches. These are profound words, written with thought, compassion and deep thinking.
"He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you."
