Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you're not open to it.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What we use, what we say, \Nwe are serious.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's what happens in a relationship, \Nwhen people are very serious

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's some sort of sense of openness
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that brings a lot of playfulness.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was in a place in a country\Nwhere people are usually serious,

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,first thing, you kind of have to go \Ninside yourself, wherever this
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,seriousness is stuck. You have to go \Nto that place inside and loosen that up.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that confidence is clearly a key\Nto be playful.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if you're confident that you can be a\Nbit more playful, if you're playful you

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So yes, I don't think openness prevents \Nanything.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Openness makes life richer not poorer.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Openness is the source of knowledge, more\Nthan the knowledge we conceptually know.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or did they make a better decision when \Nthey didn't think much?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The conclusion was, they made a much \Nbetter decision when
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they didn't think much.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So of course, people who think a lot,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they believe we have to think.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have to think to not to think.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, some sense of these practices call \Nfor a direct path.

Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So in some sense, the essence of sky I \Nmean, the truth of the sky.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what is the truth of the sky?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's that boundlessness. When I'm gazing \Nthe sky and I'm aware
