The first purpose of higher education is to discover yourself, who you uniquely are. If you choose to be a lawyer, doctor, or theatre performer before you know who you are, then you will not be your best self in your “job.” This process is somewhat monastic. You need to be able to spend time with yourself and get to like the real you behind your imperfections. If you don’t like you, then why should anyone pay a lot of money to spend an evening engaging you acting on a stage. If you don’t like being with you, then why should anyone else? Meditation is the ultimate being with oneself without the control of fear, anxiety or the escape of fantasy.
