An young being

I think he is more like a pink guy though. And some green too.

I think he used the word accumulated in the beginning. Thanks to you both, I have learnt what's the difference between cumulative and accumulated.

It's time to get rid of news time and replace it with something productive or entertaining.

That's the limit technology can help you, my friend.

Maybe in the shorter time span, but considering the last few centuries, we are more united than ever before in human history.

Like I said earlier, enlightenment here equals awakening for you, whereas it's something else for me or some others. Many describe it being something different. But like you have said, I agree that you can only help wake other people. You cannot enlighten them. It's a personal journey in my opinion and may even vary for each individual. I myself earlier was confused with the definitions of what means what, but I always believe both of the words are not the same.

I think science goes a bit further than this pic with the explanation on evolution of peanuts.

What you are describing is a state of equanimity. Enlightenment may or may not be a suitable word to describe that, since different people have different definitions for Enlightenment. For example, enlightenment for me means when there are no questions or doubts or conflicts arising in your mind regarding reality or who you are. Some people describe awakening, which is an experience of ego dissolution, as a source of enlightenment, although I would describe it more or less as a pointer to Enlightenment. Equanimity could also be a result of awakening, or could be a cause, although it's not the only way to achieve it. Also, I believe enlightenment is not a permanent or a fixed state of mind, so a person enlightened today may not be enlightened tomorrow or a person who was born enlightened may not grow up enlightened. So, instead of searching for enlightened people, I would suggest you to search for enlightened thoughts, which you maybe find across internet and the world, including this forum.

The thing is, there are many who are passionate about chess, since it's an entertaining game and you don't have to break your bones, so automatically the competition becomes very high. But teaching others chess (either part time or full time if you are extremely good at it) is a good idea, since teaching itself is a satisfying job for many, as it involves serving a community and also there are many who wants to learn chess as a hobby.

Those monks might have never heard of Osho. As per my research, Jain monks don't wear clothes simply to show that they don't possess anything other than their body, including clothes.

Many people clinging to science believe that most experiences termed mystic by spiritual people are delusions. Many people clinging to spirituality believe that most scientists are deluded because of their logical thinking. Some people clinging to awakening believe that everyone else other than them are deluded. The ones who don't cling to anything don't care about delusions at all and experience their life, no matter what the experience is.

Great definition. I think reaction could otherwise be termed as an emotionally charged instantaneous response.

Oops!? Let it serve as a reminder that English could never become my first language.

Sounds true. Sometimes the best reaction within is no reaction, and it's the best all the time if we wish to be peaceful.

Wow! ( Only world of warcraft comes to my mind)

Without evil, most of the movies today won't exist. Can that count as a purpose?

I believe it's a her. Maybe that's the reason why feminism exists.

It does influence in subtle ways though.

In absolutely relative sense, my belief is that anything which affects other people in a negative way is immoral, although it's extremely difficult to calculate. The intention behind the action also adds enormous weight. The universe does that calculation and some call it karma.

Devilry is when chasing pleasure affects others around you negatively. Otherwise pleasure mostly gets balanced by pain.

If the mind is in tune at present with what we experience, any experience is balanced for us. But when thoughts fill up the mind with past and future, the experience looks not as good as it actually is. Although I believe everything gets balanced at the end, including thoughts.

It is possible to not care, but your beliefs have to be very strong. For that, you have to experience and understand life even stronger. Many people don't care about anything in life during their teens due to their weak beliefs ( like living doesn't matter, working hard is futile, we can enjoy life only now, misunderstanding living in the present) , but start caring about life more later due to their beliefs getting shattered with further experiences. This also leads to feeling of missing out in life.

Sounds like a good idea, especially to understand the bigger picture. But we also have to make sure we are not zoomed out all the time.

Instead of thinking that it's a dream, it's wise to acknowledge that as long as you haven't experienced such bad things or been there in a similar situation yourself , you can't judge how much degree to which they are suffering due to it.
