    he is sitting on millions of rounds of artillery and a fast increasing nuclear arsenal.

    He may now have about 40 nuclear warheads and modern ICBMs

    They managed to deter a US invasion for decades and remain in power. Not too dumb.

    He may be a cruel monster, but he is not dumb

    Sounds more paranoid and cruel than a genius

    I don't know enough about him to say. He certainly played Trump for a fool and the North Koreans are very clever with their nuclear strategy.

    You think a genius would really have such a horrible haircut?

    Another perspective you could take is a deep and exhaustive analysis on the nature of desire. Heaven=Desirelessness. The most heavenly like and nirvanic states I have experienced were profoundly permeated by desirelessness. You don't desire anything at all, not even not to desire, you are utterly desireless. Desire to live, to be happy, to awaken... are blocking the way to heaven. Although not all desires are of the same quality, some desires lead to desirelessness, others to awakening, while most of them just to more desire. And all desire in the end is for desirelessness which is complete satisfaction. Well not gonna do your job, contemplate on the nature of desire and it's mechanisms! 

    Would you say desire or desiring is the same as „seeking“?

    You can enter into heaven just by changing this one belief in your mind.

    Wow really is that easy? Yes... Keep with me, this can change your life.

    Reality should be any other way than what is.

    Welcome to heaven my friend! It's that simple, this is the root, the pattern, just change one belief, one thought in your mind.

    Reality is the way it should be and I don't want it any other way.

    Then you come to realize this moment here and now is already heaven.

    How do you stop fighting with reality though?

    Did you ever seriously read and study it though... the answer will be no...

    Did you grasp it's beauty, complexity, depth, metaphoric and literal value, the morals, the love that it contains?

     

    Same could probably be said about many other spiritual texts. Baghavad Gita, Upanishads, Rumi, Buddhist texts etc
