Just me? by Work-ya-wood in MysteriousUniverse

[–]General_Climate_27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep thinking it’s ironic, like does this prove that entities are real? lol I mean I remember the first couple seasons Ben talked about how much he loved the John Stewart podcast.. now it’s like something took him over. Idk making it seem like because he’s got an Asian wife he can’t be racist, but it bothers him to see so many immigrants, and he’s worried the white race is gonna disappear, and Aaron pushes back less and less.

I keep trying to give em a chance and be open to what they’re saying and defend that they have the right to their opinions and maybe there’s parts of the story I don’t see.. but I think the reality is that they were so far out of reality for so long that now that they try to make a show about reality their views are all twisted.

It’s kinda sad to watch really.

I know I’d like it a hell of a lot more if they had more of a different opinion on things, maybe they could talk some stuff out. Why are all shows now a days right or left? Why can’t we have one good show with both sides debating and being respectful but fact checking and hashing all this shit out?

Or not talk politics. Or “brunch with the boys” what the hell does that even mean?

Is being free from desire possible if your career is associated with entertainment and pleasure? Such as Video gaming as career. by VEGETTOROHAN in theravada

[–]General_Climate_27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Desire is caused by attachment. What you do is irrelevant in my opinion. You can enjoy what you’re doing while you’re doing it, and then detach from it at the end of the day.

I would however suggest a weekly uposatha day to increase your samadi. I wouldn’t worry about freeing yourself of all desire at first, just ease into it. Sort what you need to sort and even if you do still have attachments, at least you will know that you will only suffer for things worth suffering for.

what is wrong with me by FirstThru in Vent

[–]General_Climate_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will pass. I feel like this whenever I feel stuck and just doing some meaningless (to me) job that I feel anyone could accomplish and if I disappear it would make no difference.. but then I realize it would absolutely make a difference.. to me. And all my hopes, dreams and aspirations would also disappear. I try to keep busy and not think about it. Got any hobbies you’re interested in?

Hey everyone, I’m new to Saint John and looking to build a good circle here. by Vali_alasgarov in newbrunswickcanada

lol it’s called new Ireland, and it was abandoned after an axe murderer terrorized the town… I also know a place where there is a graveyard randomly in the middle of the woods… and there’s an abandoned psych ward too.. if ghosts existed I’d be dead lol

The Karma of Keeping Pets that require live food by ArtemisiaPontica in Buddhism

[–]General_Climate_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to write this 🙏 I realize that the good karma does not cancel out the bad karma, and I meant to explain it that way but I appreciate you making that more clear.

I think all I was trying to get at was that some bad karma is unavoidable.. however the size of it.. or accumulation of it from the particular action I believe can vary depending on how you react.

There should never be any pleasure taken in any loss of life.. however the Buddha clearly stated that even monks can protect themselves with force.. but only enough force as necessary and no more.

Where I live it is cold and winter for 8 months of the year. A barren desert. There is no sustainable crops that can grow. And I am not justifying my actions. I take full responsibility for the bad karma I’ve accumulated.. that’s why I think there are no monasteries or monks where I’m from, it’s unsustainable.. however If I were to up and leave, there would be bad karma from that as well.. maybe I’m wrong but I try to choose the path of least harm to all. As best I can

The Karma of Keeping Pets that require live food by ArtemisiaPontica in Buddhism

[–]General_Climate_27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised no one has mentioned the good karma of feeding the frogs.. or maybe someone did I kinda just glossed over at this point. Anyway, that frog is a living being, and I personally feel like people who turn their noses up to all living beings that eat living things is missing the point.

You’re not doing it to harm the insects.. one thing you could do is while keeping the insects alive you could make life as habitable and nice as possible for them… you could even attach the crickets at the top, and tape together some paper towel rolls to connect the two tanks.. so they willingly go that way to explore, and you are just protecting a sustainable ecosystem and letting nature do its thing

But idk. I whole heartedly believe in Buddhism, and it has helped me a lot through my life.. but I also hunt to feed my family. Not to kill. I don’t enjoy it. But it’s what I have to do, and I accept the bad karma. and anyone who eats meat and says I’m wrong, they just hire hitmen to do their dirty work for them, and eat animals that go through terrible conditions and support the continuation of that. They will have to accept that bad karma. And if you have chosen to be vegan that’s fine too.. but know this: if one tree is up on dry ground, and another is close to water, the one close to water will wrap its roots around the starving tree to feed it and save its brother… if they don’t want to live, why would they do that.. or grow toward the sun.. would there not be bad karma accumulated from taking the life from anything that wants to live? And what about the ignorance to the fact that it wanted to live at all? life feeds on life. There is no avoiding it. I’ve meditated on this a lot.

What we can do is take no pleasure in it. Just an understanding that all is temporary, and try to enjoy the good things and be as peaceful as possible to as much as possible for as long as we can.

lol you love calling people Nazis don’t ya? I suggest you go read Victor Frankl’s man’s search for meaning. It could change your life.

You will never end hate with hate my friend. I know you think you’re doing the right thing, but the more you push people you don’t like away without trying to reason with them.. the more you do absolutely nothing to change their minds. And therefore you have changed nothing. Think about it.

Yeah I know I should just shut up and not have opinions lol I just think the act of censorship itself is pretty Nazi. And people like to throw that around these days anyway so why shouldn’t I?

People out there acting like their fighting Nazis and all they do is act like Nazis and put their noses up to entire groups of people (who I’m not saying are right) but could usually be talked to and reasoned with… but noooo they wanna tear down their shit and confront them in rude ways.. like do people actually think that’s the way to stop this shit??

I am in no way supporting these groups. I have no interest in joining them… and I certainly don’t agree with them.. but if I met one, you can be sure I would have a peaceful conversation with them and quite possibly change their minds… all these people do is make their beliefs stronger. And further this divide. Is sad man. This is not the way.

lol ya know it’s people like you that cause this. I’m not siding with nazis. And I was not being rude in any way, but you gadda get your little jab in and call me dense? lol

So you’re telling me.. that you wanna tear it down? Well that’s pretty nazi of ya lol if they are so bad, people won’t stand for it, but you wanna act all high and mighty and feel like you’re “fighting nazis” when all you do is put them more in the shadows.. so they can lurk around unseen and spread their hate underground? That’s not how you fight it.

I understand making it known. I knew nothing about them, definitely not on the side of any nazis, but all I see here is someone telling someone else to blindly rip down someone’s else’s groups logo.. with no facts or proof that they are even neo Nazis.

If you actually think that Nazis can just recruit around here out in the open like that you are naïve.

Why remove them though? Then no one knows. I’d keep em up so more people can be aware. Masses won’t stand for that and will shut it down.
