Enlightenment explained in 47 words

Just got this email from a Church of the Churchless visitor. Nicely said from someone about my age who looks on enlightenment pretty much the same way I do now.

I never knew what to believe until my early twenties when I came to believe in enlightenment. Now, at the age of sixty-four, having found that I can’t explain clearly what enlightenment could possibly be, I can’t believe in it anymore, and I find this inability enlightening.

    I truly think “enlightenment” is a dogma of our generation. It is a possession to be jealous of. It is just us wanting to escape the pain of being alive.
