I wish I was hung like an elephant. That would give me pleasure, brother.

life is good, the world we live in sucks (and that's our fault). imo life's one big accident, we don't have a purpose or anything

[El-blanco]

Indifference.

That's a Buddhist mantra

Unfortunately you won't see many enlightened Buddhist following that advice.

Buddha was a prince who gave up his royal name and material wealth and went and found enlightenment under a bodhi tree.

Top monks all seem to have an unusual amount of wealth, I phones etc and usually travel first class.

I'm not talking about young monks from poor backgrounds with that.

...just the chosen ones

The secret to life is to enjoy it.
Don't worry too much over the things you have no control over.
Sometimes things just are the way they are, putting labels on things is in the eye of the beholder

In Buddhist culture there shouldn't be praise for beautiful things, it's a temporary state and attracts an opposite.
I.e if something is beautiful it invokes a negative that to be recognised as beautiful something has to be recognised as ugly

Om ☺

Yeah. The Four Noble truths. Buddha's journey to enlightenment was an amazing thing.

Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.

Other times it's just fine.

Living is also pleasure

Remind me of that Monday morning when I have to drag my ass out of bed at five in the morning and spend two hours in traffic going to and from work.

Eighty percent of lottery winners continue working? F that. I'd quit immediately and I don't even hate my job.

Thanks for reminding me about my two inch dicklette.
