The name Ten Thousand Ways represents the infinite possibilities that exist for different ways that humans can live, and also the belief that no one right way exists.

The Ten Thousand Ways gathering, held yearly, aims to bring people from disparate backgrounds together through this simple idea; the gathering exists for those who believe that our species can live in many more ways than we live now. At Ten Thousand Ways, we can meet like-minded individuals, make new friends, share and trade ideas, and network.

Good morning fellow Humans!

I was just wondering if anyone else has ever had the sneaking suspicion that the way things are isn't the way things are supposed to be.  Do you think we are supposed to live this way, or feel the way we feel?  Do you think that the way things happens is the result of divine intervention or the result of physics, human choice (and error) and perhaps the fulfillment of a story that was written into our culture long ago?

Did you ever consider for a moment that perhaps the problem, the real motivation to drink, or be religious in the first place - isn't your fault so much as it is a deep, lonely feeling caused because none of this is the way things are supposed to be?  I think that our world, our history, is the way it is because someone decided it should be that way.  Not just one someone, and not just one culture or society - but along the way, so many decisions were made that took us away from what makes humans truly happy that we don't even know how to find our way back to that place anymore.
