Akira the Don and Alan Watts - A Really Swinging Human

Now
What I would call a really swinging human being
Is a person who lives on two levels at once
He's able to live on the level of being his ordinary ego
His everyday personality
And play his role in life
And to observe all the rules
And so on
That go with that
But if he is only on that level
If he's only playing that kind of thing
And thinks that's all there is
It becomes a drag
He starts being the kind of person
Who feels that he's just got to go on surviving
It's terribly important to go on surviving
To live
He works at that
And his children
Learn the same attitude from him
He says, "Well, I've got to survive because I've got all these children I have to support"
And so on, and so forth
And then they take the same attitude
And they breed up children
And they feel compulsive about supporting them
Because they've got to go on
And so nobody really has any fun
It's just
"Ungh! Ungh! Ungh! Ungh!"
You've got to make this thing!
You see?
And you don't have to!
See, whenever I get somebody
Who comes to me and says
"I really can't go on
I have to commit suicide
I say
"Well, that's entirely your right
There's really no reason why you should go on
And if you want to commit suicide, do it"
You can check out
Of course, this reduces anxiety
When they feel free to commit suicide
They don't really have to commit suicide so much
You know, you can commit partial suicide
