I was incredibly impressed with the panel. Mindfulness has shown to have a positive impact on the lives of many. I would urge even those who regard themselves as generally happy to look into it as it tends to help one experience the fullness of live in every moment. Society would be transformed if this were taught in schools as it would produce a generation of emotionally intelligent, compassionate, caring, peaceful and content children, which in turn would affect our work life, politics, etc

aka why so many people cling onto hallucinative drugs. Its a temporary state of mind where people can deny the stresses of the reality around them and a place where they can convince themselves nothing really matters. It is of course a very short lived state of bliss and thats why people cling onto it and convince themselves that they need drugs in order to experience the best things life has to offer.
