 I 100% agree. There’s a spectrum and variation of wisdom. We can’t all live in convents and deepen our connection 24/7, because some of us have to live in and deal with the material world on a daily basis. This tiny piece of wisdom only really helps me in dealing with the material world. Connecting spiritually is a whole different level of wisdom that I don’t pretend to understand fully. 
 Absolutely, I definitely haven't made it to the covent lifestyle yet lol, too many bills show up every month. But it does help me keep the material world in perspective sometimes, especially when things don't go the way I'd hope.
