You're writing so well! I can tell you've been doing a lot of it lately. I feel that everyone has a slightly different idea of how best to use the number of breaths they have remaining. I think the never-ending desire some people have to experience everything, all at once (kind of like the hungry ghosts of Buddism) is what truly burns people out. A lot of great writers, and celebrities of all kinds, possess that particular lack of contentment. I saw it in Bourdain. The dopamine receptors just eventually get blown out and nothing is enjoyable anymore. I think we have to guard against that to a certain extent. It's all about balance though because a little flood of dopamine from time to time is an awesome thing! : )
