#322 Humans have thoughts and believe their thoughts. Humans would rather hold on to their beliefs than to know the truth/reality.

#323 Thich Nhat Hanh writes, I like to walk alone on country paths, rice plants and wild grasses on both sides, putting each foot down on the earth in mindfulness, knowing that I walk on the wondrous earth. In such moments, existence is a miraculous and mysterious reality. People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle.
