The experience of suffering is no less significant than that of liberation. The experience of confusion is no less necessary than that of clarity. The experience of chaos is not inferior to that of harmony. The experience of separation is no less sacred than that of oneness.

— Shiv Sengupta

Imagine a tree thinking it was separate from the rest of the universe. The ensuing confusion would be absurdly funny. Sound familiar? Trees are trees and humans are humans. It is our nature to think absurd things. It is also our nature to laugh. We would do well to laugh more at the predicament we create for ourselves.
