Writing Off Meditation When I Was Young

When I was young, I had zero interest in meditation. It was constantly mentioned in the context of achieving enlightenment, especially in Buddhism, my previous religion. Whenever I hear the term ‘meditation’, the immediate mental association was people who had severed ties with mainstream society and were living solitary lives in pursuit of enlightenment. People like monks, priests, martial artists and hermits.
