burning man isn’t all drugs and sex

although you can definitely get your fill

it’s about self expression
9:30:57
self reliance
9:31:10
connecting with pure human essence in the form of dropping all expectations

and taking everyone so far outside their comfort zone, that they have no choice but accept everyone and everything

we have that choice every day…don’t we? .. when did it come to be that we need to be outside our comfort zone to accept everyone and everything?

Well, we don’t. We can accept everything in everyday of our lives.
Unfortunately, I think many people have forgotten how to do it. Some people just can’t accept anything that’s different than “the normal.”
Burning Man tends to completely shatter the notion of “normal,” erasing it as a concept, leaving this kind of person with nothing on which to fall back.
And hopefully, they get the chance to realize that accepting everyone and everything can make one much happier than trying to change everyone and everything.
