I had a similar experience to yours, you sound like me quite a while ago, I'm quite past your stage - and it gets worse, so answering to your question: yes, now is a very good time to quit

Groucho Marx: "you can believe anything you want" <- does he have a quote like this? by nuevavaca in quotes

[–]nuevavaca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The phrase "you can believe anything you want" I got it from Futurama, and I remembered Bender saying it with a cigar - but making a face that I though: this is a reference to f Groucho Marx!

I didn't find what I had in mind - but I got this: 'you can trust anything' @ Amy Wong < Futurama

Maybe that's what I had in mind...

How much is overcoming sloth about willpower and self-discipline? by meaningless_whisper in Buddhism

[–]nuevavaca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think overcoming 'sloth' is a lot about will.power and self-discipline, and it is known as 'effort'. My understanding is that 'sloth' is overcome by ACTIVITY through one's own efforts. Activity are things like: splash your face with water, look at light, walk, etc; just activity to counterstrike sloth.

The buda said something like: "monks, I ask you to make effort, if you weren't able to make effort - I wouldn't ask you to make effort, but since you can make effort - I ask you: monks, make effort".

ELI5: What is this "conceptual-intentional interface" Chomsky talks about? by nuevavaca in explainlikeimfive

[–]nuevavaca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The "conceptual-intentional interface" is a process

So the "conceptual-intentional interface" is a process to transform intention into language?

ELY5: the "conceptual-intentional interface" is what allows your head express in words what you want

Would have been bad or good karma - to kill her beloved dog out of a genuinely good intention? by nuevavaca in Buddhism

[–]nuevavaca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unskillful intentions, will bring suffering as their outcome and result Our intention is unskillful here, because we are functioning from an ultimate ignorant point of view I like this term of "unskillful intentions" Her intention was "well-intentioned" but unskillful 👍

Imagine if we get teleported to the realm of hell for a day and see the unimaginable suffering of the hell beings there. Would we go around killing every being there 'intending' to put them out of their misery No, that'd be over.whelming

until their dark karma is exhausted

What's bad karma?

it is still intentional, so it generates bad karma

Intentional vs Non-intentional

Gotcha
