I'm not sure what your point is, either. Alan Watts possibly did have alcoholism, but he also had long-term cardiac disease. It is also possible that he decided to end his own life. He was a profoundly intellectual philosopher, way ahead of his time in thoughts and deeds. __________________ |

I think his point is not to heed the quote because Alan Watts wasn't perfect.
But, alas, I don't want to assume. |

I didn't know who he was so I looked him up on Wikipedia. Seems to have been an interesting fellow.
