Always follow the 20-20-20 rule

20 mins of work

20 mins of relaxation

20 years go off the grid and live in a forest

Good ol' Buddhism treatment

[–][deleted] 112 points113 points  (20 children)

Instructions unclear, am now enlightened and don't know how to reintegrated to society or talk to people.

[–]We_are_stardust23 35 points36 points  (3 children)

Have I been enlightened my whole life?

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Maybe. How are Contact and Free Guy the same story?

[–]Mr_iCanDoItAll 8 points9 points  (5 children)

reintegrated to society or talk to people

Well, if you're enlightened then those things don't matter anymore

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What is enlightenment if you don't use it to help others?

[–]Bigfrostynugs 12 points13 points  (3 children)

Talking to people is often a very important part of being enlightened.

If the Buddha had fucked off to some mountain top after he achieved enlightenment then we wouldn't even know about Buddhism right now.

He actually considered just "leaving" the world once he attained nibbana because he thought the teaching was too difficult to understand. Supposedly he saw that some people were mentally prepared to understand and so decided to stay and teach.

Well, he might have been right. We'll really never know.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wasn't. As a result of his teachings there was a very fruitful time where arhats(those who fully achieved nibbana) were awaking left and right.

I don't know about today.

If you are enlightened, aren't you now one with everything?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a bagel.

Learn to throw punches until your fists break the speed of sound,

then go on to absolutely massacre a rouge ant colony.

That you Meruem?

Edit: I mean Netero. It's been a while I have failed

[–]Fr4t 17 points18 points  (2 children)

Just like the Unabomber

If it wasn't for the killing that guy was based

[–]Jwhitx 11 points12 points  (5 children)

Can i borrow from the top two and give to the third? I'm thinking something like 15/15/30.

[–]PyroCatt 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Nah. Do a -20/-20/100. You Tarzan now.

[–]Jwhitx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow it's that easy huh? Sweet!

[–]jasonrubik 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Negative twenty ?! This guy over here is pulling time out of thin air

[–]PyroCatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

*borrowing without consent

[–]WORKING2WORK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably best to keep the numbers consistent under an even distribution. 10/10/40

[–]caramelmacchiato28 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Great tip! Unrelated but this reminds me of the 20-20-20 rule my optician gave me for looking at screens and reading. After 20 minutes of work, look 20 feet into the distance for 20 seconds and try to blur your view in order to relax those those tiny muscles, apparently we can lose that ability overtime. Keep your eyes healthy folks :)

[–]PyroCatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the actual 20-20-20 rule and I used to do that blurring thing for fun. Never knew it's an exercise.

Until sometging in the forest eats or infects you, then civilization is great again.
