Just riffing on the article...
2. Longing To Be Somewhere Else Is A Virtue.
4. Go Ahead, Get Enlightened.
Longing to be somewhere else is a virtue... because it sends you back to this moment with fresh purpose, where you can now consider: how is this actual moment a first step in being somewhere else? How is this moment the first step (and only step) in this enlightenment? Go ahead, get enlightened. Love is real.

Lovely, Shargrol.
(Random association, writing that name— did you know that it means “liberation through hearing”?
ETA— My mistake. It is “liberated upon arising.” Thodrol is liberated upon hearing— like the Bardo Thodrol.
