I was thinking about this yesterday in that fudgy segue into sleep. I've had experiences from meditation that I can only describe as peak experiences; deep, profound, emotionally measureless. The vast majority of the time though, it's mundane or a struggle or simply uninspiring. I think all of those are necessary. One teacher actually told me those uninspiring sessions are where true progress lies. (Progress is wrong but let's leave that for another time.)

Also I'm with you, despite my disagreements and the chaotic scope of the comic, it's a fine conversation catalyst. It's good to encourage people to take a closer look at what their lives mean to them and wider yet, at what it means to be alive.
