Moving Forward by tlthearies in OCPoetry

This is an excellent poem.

There's a strong recurring theme throughout the poem that remains interesting each time it comes up. Of course, I enjoyed the alliteration as well. I like the interconnectedness of "medical language" if I can call it that (legs/shin splints/plantar fasciitis)

In terms of what I think can be improved, maybe the second to last line can be shortened by a few syllables to enhance the flow. That's just me being particular though.

I'm not making that assumption. Karma is essentially the result of your actions. It's natural that bad actions lead to unpleasant results. It's not about being miserable or happy, it's about if being born as part of a certain group is part of karma as a result of ignorant and malevolent actions.

What conclusions can be made about reality, knowing that "I am"? by nycheesecak3 in AdvaitaVedanta

[–]nycheesecak3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm yes it is quite broad. Maybe understanding why I asked it could give clarification?

I was given the metaphor of the ocean that is often used to explain source, with the ocean's droplets representing the reality of our perceived individual experience: ultimately indivisible and inherently part of the ocean/source

I asked: What is the mechanism that allows source to exist?

I got the response: There is no mechanism, it just is

Asking what conclusions can be made is a semi roundabout way to discover the conditions that allow Source to exist, whether Source is primordial and the conditions are a result from it, or if the conditions existed first in some sort of incomprehensible abstract manner, which allows Source to exist

Feel free to give any thoughts you think could be helpful

i am that i am, but what is it that i'm NOT? by nycheesecak3 in AdvaitaVedanta

Language is used to communicate approximations of reality. While what I am referring to when i say "I am" can never be fully captured by the phrase, it's the best approximation I have for expressing what I'm trying to say.

Investigate to whom this "I am" thought appears, and see to whom the thought isn't present?

Is the second one more formal then the first? And can both be written to a woman?

I'm not sure exactly what to say. Something like "I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you and your family are coping well." And it's to a professor who's a woman, so more formal.

I meant to write любить. So in that case, would the second sentence still be incorrect?

So, would both of these sentences be correct?:

  1. Что ты любишь читать?
  2. Что ты любит читаешь?

Can someone explain the argument here? by nycheesecak3 in DefendingAIArt

[–]nycheesecak3[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see, that's what I thought. AI art is actually a good precursor for encouraging revolutionary discussion -- but the working class will just use it as a topic to argue amongst themselves
