It’s a pleasure to be right, but there are advantages being wrong as well. It can be easier to let go of your own ideas, for one. A kind of freshness of curiosity and surprise for another.
I like the way Shunryu Suzuki paraphrased Dogen in describing Zen as a practice of wrong following on wrong — a lifetime of “one continuous mistake.”
“In Bombay Beach, everything that can go wrong in the world has gone wrong;
that’s why people most describe it as apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic,” said Tao Ruspoli.
“You have climate change, environmental collapse, severe poverty and contaminated water.
The beauty of the apocalypse is that it exposes all the problems of our culture and then asks the question, what’s next?
What do you do once the end has happened?”
