@cistanche_enjoyer Cigarettes are not just tobacco.

@Someone here I hear you haven't been smoking, how do you feel about that?

Mixed feelings .obviously when you overcome some bad habit you feel good about yourself and you improve but also no one can go from being a crackhead to a sober monk in few months ..I still crave cigarettes sometimes ..but god has showed me the way. I don't think I will ever come back to cigarettes ..Especially that I've addressed the root cause behind my addiction which is loneliness and too much free time .

I mean, the cartoon discusses infinity and essentially points to omnipotence. So, yeah it does touch on themes of awakening.

Part of the sim is to gaslight into thinking what you are doing is wrong and bad for you.

Try to take up a new hobby and see the sim start telling you that the thing you like to do is harmful.

Start eating a new fruit and watch the sim gaslight you into thinking that new fruit is bad for you and you must eat meat now.

Guys you don't get it. Its not about the NiCoTinE or health.

My guess is that most of you are americans and this is more an european (mediterranean) thing.

Imagine living in Barcelona/Paris/Rome/Athens/Prague.
You wake up early on a saturday, meditate, shower, breakfast. You dress stylish. You go for a walk to a beautiful old style café, sit in the terrace, order the best cappuccino in town and light a cigarette and spend your whole morning just looking at people passing by.

Basking in the experience of life, the city, and the passing of time.

The art of being a flâneur.

Top tier spirituality if you ask me.

This is such a fantasy.

Most Europeans wake up and rush to get to work a grinding job they hate. Just like the rest of the world.

Hojo stop dicking around . Eating fruit instead of meat or meat instead of fruit is such a first world problem.  How you dare compare that to smoking vs not smoking? The cigarettes will literally kill you . I think that most smokers don't consider this possibility seriously. Just give it a quick Google its in the top 5 causes of deaths every year worldwide .

Simplicity. Spirituality is loving mundane things as you love advanced states of consciousness.

You are closer to GOD doing less than doing 200 spiritual practices 😂

I don't know.

Everyone works hard, but in the little time off Europeans have, Europe is extremely beautiful! Europe is much more chill and safe than the US! I would shit myself in the US knowing how many guns and assault rifles every average Joe has in his car or in his jacket. 

I love Europe so much, pristine art, pristine historical buildings and also as of the last 2 decades, a very pleasant wind of stage green.

Another way you could see this is the first image is (opening up too much to the truth) overwhelmed thy nervous system.

Second imagine (need to numb out because the truth was all too much to handle)

But it could be flipped and interpreted many ways
