[quote:Anonymous Coward 17693691:MV8yMTI5NTA5XzM1OTM5MjA0XzQzQjcwQzI5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 904314:MV8yMTI5NTA5XzM1OTM4OTExXzlFMkY0MTYz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 17693691:MV8yMTI5NTA5XzM1OTM4Nzk1XzVCMDUyMjc4] Ignorance is bliss.. in a fairy tale that works. But we live in a real world where its corrupt as all hell. Accepting this challenge called life means physically and mentaly. Do not go through life a mindless drone feeling self enlightenment. [/quote] You don't understand. It's not about being a brainless drone, it's about clearing away all of the useless interpretation garbage so as to have a pure direct experience of reality, in order to properly deal with any and all situations calmly and intelligently. Dealing with things as they really are, directly, without the usual delusions we humans have. There's a reason them samurai, for example, all followed that path! [/quote] I understand now, I apologize for any misunderstanding. I believe we can find common ground. That is the demeanor one should strive for and for the mind who lacks focus, this approach is suited. However the mind is free, at which to make a criteria for what is useless interpretation and what isn't is difficult. We do not know the mind, we should not close its doors. Your ways draw lines. The greatest thoughts come from the strangest places. Open your mind. Tame it. Do not shut it out. What I'm getting at is If you want to live the life of a samurai, this isn't the time for you. We are nothing like them. We have an opportunity to reach for the stars with a grand amount of knowledge at our fingertips. The ability to be living what sammurai believed was impossible. This is my point. There is no useless interpretation. There is simply a lack of understanding. Once something is understood competantly enough, it is no longer a burden. It is now, knowledge. With executed practice that may become wisdom to share with future generations. No longer is it the time to live and learn how to react. We have matured past that. We know what to do, we simply chose to do it wrong. This path must be corrected. To exist, is not my purpose. I push. If we fail, we fall. If we exceed.. My friend if only I could explain. We are capable of doing both. Live with a direct experience, but understand we have the power to change the world now. Weather you are ready or not this is the fact. It's changing, and if we don't effect this change, This thing called earth won't have humans on it forever. Proactive with ourselves, and eachother. One love. [/quote]
