Thought Art

I enjoy méditation because i built the muscle. Now I can enjoy it. It’s harder at the beginning. 30 minutes meditation is very enjoyable for me. I want to do a long retreat

@r0ckyreed I see what you mean Actually though, objective observation practiced daily, as well as relaxing, breathing, letting thoughts come and go… that’s more truthful and insightful than not doing it daily. But, I’m out of context

@Leo Gura my daily 30 minutes in the morning is not a waste. It’s very important for me. I admit I haven’t done a super long retreat though. I will plan one. But, as a centering practice my sit helps out a lot. Sitting in silence for 30 minutes at least a day does have a usefulness for mindful, peaceful living…

I think it has largely to do with Trauma. What you say, does align with documentary.

All of our relations.

@Raze Yeah, not arguing that. Sorry if my point seemed jerk like before. I guess my point was, the reasons behind the crime. Idk, I am sorry. High crime and alcoholism are symptoms in my mind. Not really ‘reasons’.

@Raze Well, you didn’t look into it all that deeply.

@Rishabh R for number 3, why are you up so late you can make it to your morning classes?

@Rishabh R We could, it’s also a useful collection for you to make for yourself in a commonplace book. There may be a good book on being using failure to succeed which you may want to buy.

@Yousif Demonizing me that I think killing innocent people is okay. But, just not my people. That’s how I interpret that. If I was going to take an objective, selfless view on it… my results should be the same regardless of whether I’m at risk or not. However, if I was at risk I couldn’t contemplate it in the way I do. That should be obvious. And like I said, doesn’t change how OTHER PEOPLE justify their actions. When I try to understand OTHER peoples perspectives, it doesn’t mean I agree with them. I would prefer no war at all anyway. Whether it’s here or not. But, the thing is what are OTHERS those actually involved thinking and doing. Make that distinction.

No, they get different speaking to people who misinterpret and demonize you. Like you did. If there is no “Us” and no “them” Why are you demonizing me for trying to see the perspectives of all of us? Then, you moralize to me about my personal biases, which I wasn’t sharing to begin with. That’s no a fair or conscious way to communicate in the way I have tried to do. No one likes when bad things happen to them. That is essentially universal. So, when you ask me “what if a bad thing happened to you how would YOU feel?!” You miss the whole point of what I’m trying to do. Which, is scary to me and I realize it’s not worth it. Because we aren’t running the same operating system. What you say changes nothing, because I already understand that. Speaking to you reminds me of how hard it is to communicate with other humans who twist your words. Whether on purpose or not. My goal is to understand this conflict, and all conflicts in general. I want to understand human bias, and selfishness. To do this I have to try to see the perspectives of everyone involved. I have learned that trying to share my understanding of other peoples perspectives leads people to accuse me of justifying their actions. To see how someone else justifies their actions, not me justifying their actions. I will continue to contemplate and try to see clearly what is happening, admitting when I’m wrong, allowing my mind to deepen. But, I’ve realized to do it in private. Because of people who act like you.

I will learn, and embody a mouth which does not speak. But, eyes that see. An open heart, and seeing eyes. A stranger who passes you by on the street. Like any other.

I have decided to no longer comment on such things on public forums. Anything I say will be misinterpreted. My ignorance here, is too great. The risk of speaking about it too high.

Concepts without direct experience. Focus maybe, in what awakening you can have and so it actually instead of making up ideas about what awakening isn’t .
