My point to all of this is, whatever relationship you're in, are you going to find the time to do the real work in your life? Which is life purpose + your spiritual path. If you keep going for new relationships, I bet you won't. You'll keep chasing relationships and adjusting. By the end of the life, you may be thinking, what have I given to the world? Because the actual truth is, all is one.

Thas isn't quite a fair in a discussion about relationship shape, because most people won't do real work. Chasing the new and shiny in poly, or rotting in monogamous codependecy... Poly poeple tend to be somewhat self-actualizig, but I don't think being poly or not is in any way correlated with taking life-purpose and spirituality seriously.

"The birds are my DJs." -Ralph Smart, Infinite Waters 

I agree with the quote. Even their mating songs sound better than pop stars or any singers in the world. I could listen to them all day.

Listening to birds could be a technique to help in reducing stress or not being so attached to music or social media. 

Too bad it's copying a chainsaw.

I bet, eventually, no matter what relationship you're in, it will go toward life purpose + spirituality whether you like it or not. At least it will have to fall into LP. And yes, it does correlate. Here's why...

Eventually, a person will retire. Most ppl retire at or after age 65. Let's spice it up a little. What if you retire much younger? Like in your 30s and 40s? What are you going to do for the rest of your life? Relationships are not the answer. It will go out of balance. How long are you going to be "in love?" The "lovey-dovey" phase can only last for so long. What are you going to do? You can't talk to each other forever. It will get boring. Some ppl don't have to work a day in their lives anymore. Then what? They don't even have to lift a finger anymore--no housework, no cooking, nothing. Then what? Life can only get duller if you don't know how to live it. There's a saying,

"An idle mind is the devil's workshop."

This includes idle relationships. One cannot go on continuously talking small talk to each other forever. If this happens, they'll just find an excuse to fight. What's the next step? Detachment and finding the LP.

This is probably a stage yellow clip at least because the word "detachment" is our true nature. He talks about detachment in relationships. That's how it works. The truth to why it's our true nature is because when you're experiencing an awakening that has to do with the nothingness, you will see and become one with everything but detached from everything. That's how it works in this life too because duality is correlated, interconnected, and one with non-duality.

One Republic's songs seem to be spreading green values, especially lately. Watch the first video till the end.
