Xain, you keep going back to these Buddhist sites as if deep down inside you truly feel that they have something of value to teach you.  But then you seem to rush to judgement about what they’re trying to tell you.  Take it slowly.  Really read what the author is saying.  Sit still for a moment and really think about the words.  What he’s saying is that, especially in the modern world we are easily distracted by things, by our devices and gadgets, by the news of what’s happening in the world, by our friends, by our jobs, by our own fantasies of what kind of life we SHOULD be having, and in consequence our minds are so busy that we don’t take time to just BE.  How often do people just sit still and experience what’s going on?  That is what he means by a genuine life.
