The Cost Of Distraction

If you have ever seen a magician perform, and you have to pay attention to how they do, what they do, it’s very interesting.

Because whatever they do ( if they’re hiding a coin or whatever) ,they distract you from what’s really happening. And it’s so smooth that we wonder , “Oh my God, what happened? How did he do that? How did he produce this thousand rupee note out of his shirt ?” I mean, you have to think. Yeah, And people will sit there and people will applaud.

And obviously, I mean, if he could do that for real, make thousands of rupee notes come out of sleeve , why would he be doing this performance? He could be having a nice vacation on a Caribbean island somewhere.

But he’s not doing that. He’s traveling, town to town, place to place, trying to make a meager living while fooling the audience, and this is the point of it. He’s actually fooling us and we’re applauding being fooled.

Everytime we get distracted in so many spheres of our life and just get fooled by doing that.

So , distraction is actually another attraction, but it’s taking away from what you should be attracted to. You should be attracted to your own existence. Why? Because it is the most precious thing there is. There’s nothing more precious than being alive. This is one thing that nobody is selling and nobody can buy!
