““Much of the Buddhist aspiration revolves around mastering this internal reality, fortifying it, and cutting all external strings that might be attached to it. The world is inherently chaotic, unstable and can change on a whim, which is why a Buddhist turns inward and strives to become independent from it. It is the most pristine form of freedom – remaining the same and retaining spiritual as well as emotional stability even if everything around you is crumbling.””
