one of my uncles is a Sufi. but my family are orthodox Sunni, Sufism has never really played a huge role in my life, I like reading up about it and I love RUMI quotes and poetry. i refer back to his works when i really need to ground myself from the materialistic world, which happens quite often these days..

the world is really fucked up now and i guess some people hark back at times when things were just simplistic nd we had a nuclear family

absolutely no going back now...

Yes simplify, be more in touch with nature, your place in it and it's Beauty. imo.
Emerson, Thoreau, John Muir .. expanded on this. What works for me is long distance hiking. Getting back to civilization brings a perspective.

Though I can see family importance as a way too.

beside cursural study my real introduction to islam was sufi writting,
ive mentioned before i noticed a book at the used and like the symbol on the cover so i bought it and was introduced to rumi,
i was sold as i saw that as mystics
they confronted traditional dogma's dogmatially

was a book written by idres shaw.

There was a young man who said “Damn,
For it certainly seems that I am,
A creature that moves
In determinate grooves,
I’m not even a bus — I’m a tram.”
