There is a way to look at reality that doesn't take categorizations on
with the seriousness that is common. Yes, they play an important role in
understanding reality. However, they also contribute to some
misunderstandings of reality that make for considerable mental discomfort.

Because we see the world as made up of things, we crave for things, we
hate other things, we worry about things. If reality is seen in a
non-dual (thingless) frame, these mental discomforts go away. Fewer of
these mental discomforts definately translates into a happier and
healthier interaction with the world.
