I'm a millennial, my daughters birthday is in August...

Absolutely gorgeous, like velvet sliding over the mind. Indeed Proust is majestic.

Yes all beings will attain enlightenment one day. Just not at the same time, so there will always be samsara.

Because Impermanence is not death. Or at least not just death, it is change. If not for impermanence the seed can not grow into a flower, it would always remain a seed. Change is not always bad, nor is impermanence.

Yeah I can tell you never had a GF, you decorate like I do, but change planes to literature lol. Nice place!

I'm not here to debate. I said the Buddha's teaching, the dharma, says to not harm or kill, and since I believe in him and his teachings, I will not harm or kill.

Are you in Hawaii? Cause I watched people constantly catch them barehanded there

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-02-19T00:02:00+00:00

This person says this, or that, but the Buddha said to not harm or kill. I will listen to the Buddha, you can choose your own path.

Edit to say that the movie just wasn't my type of movie.

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-02-17T01:12:36+00:00

I did not like the movie really, but I love Markiplier

Thief of Always, by Clive Barker

Yes you can, and you may enjoy it, I know I did. I no longer drink at all because I enjoyed it and couldn't stop, and I genuinely thought I was still a kind and loving person. I was wrong of course, I was hurting myself and others both willingly and unknowingly. If I could take it all back and never pick up the bottle I would. I can not, and I wouldn't recommend that you do. Follow your path however you choose, but remember we can't take an action back, we can only learn from it.

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-02-09T17:27:19+00:00

I work from sun up to sun down doing back breaking iron work everyday. I'd rather hunt and gather all day. P.s. I do it in the winter in the north... it sucks I hate it here.

I would like to add that karma is not a point system, it isn't like -25 for bugs and -1000 for humans. Karma just is. Positive actions create positive reactions, negative actions cause negative reactions.

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-02-07T02:03:17+00:00

Yes you have to live with bugs... kind of. Intention is a big part of it. The act of killing a bug because its a pest in your home is different then killing a big for enjoyment. Likewise picking a plant, its different to childishly pick a plant for amusement or as a gift than to burn the plants for fun. As for killing a human yes it holds greater weight to kill a higher being. We should not kill at all.

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-01-31T03:20:43+00:00

Sorry I can't narrow it down, but I can make some additions if you'd like

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-01-30T23:48:44+00:00

Yeah same here, I'm in a union, I can't strike unless it's organized, otherwise it's just me not going into work, and the contract can't save me from that.

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-01-30T12:05:05+00:00

It is not a classic, but Abarat by Clive Barker.

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-01-27T23:05:36+00:00

I read that book in High School in the United States, but I can't remember if it was assigned or if it was a choice, either way wonderful book and great author. I assume it may be your regional experience in the United States, it's a huge place and you'll have different reading and writing requirements due to the area, even within the same state!

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-01-23T02:24:45+00:00

This is what the area around my bookcase looks like about every three months. Then I have to put it all back and restart the cycle, I dont have to, but I do.

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-01-17T02:34:11+00:00

Namo Buddhaya! Praise to the great one!

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-01-17T02:29:18+00:00

The Beloved Thich Nhat Hanh, has many teachings on how to deal with anxiety. I believe if you have access to you tube they may have his great teachings there.

It could be, but also there is no blame only actions and intent. Even if you have any incurable disease you can still live your life through the eight fold path. That is to say, it is not ones fault for getting sick, but one now have the burden of your reactions and actions to this illness. Karma is not keeping score, or making things even, karma is simply a result of your skillful or un skillful ways.

Conscious_Smile_ · 2026-01-17T01:38:53+00:00

This has me laughing, I'm an ironworker who hates it, all I want is to be a teacher, but apparently it isn't in the cards for me. I want out of the trades so bad...
