I remember somebody saying, "I feel really bad for kids growing up around iPads right now. It's just too complicated. Life's too complicated."

Dan ManganThat is a goal, to step out on stage and to actually be present. Honestly alive and present. Although, it doesn't always happen. We're fallible, we're imperfect. That's what a lot of books are written about; that's what a lot of religions have sought after is that kind of zen mentality of just being totally neutral and open and vulnerable to all of the forces in the universe without being attached to them.
