The shallow minded people who hold on to things so far removed from being one with the earth are absolutely astounding. Out of touch, out of time, out of reality, yet. . . blissfully ignorant.
This is the painfully correct assertion of the age old saying. Yes, what you don’t know, you don’t know. Will it hurt you? If you don’t care what difference does it make?
So in observing shallow people in their shallow lives living their shallow values and over using the word shallow one can only be left not only astounded, but a touch envious too. Well, not really. I’d rather be a visionary suffering the angst of existence or the peace of enlightenment than worrying about shallow things. Of course, if you are shallow you can’t drown.
Ignorance truly is bliss for those in that space, without vision and awareness you have. . . blissful ignorance.
Nothing, on the other hand, you will gain with vision and enlightenment.
a visionary suffering the angst of existence. if that isn’t a quote for the ages i don’t know what is. i dunno, if i’m not going to do anything with my vision, i’d just as soon be happy sometimes.
The peace of enlightenment is pretty cool too man.
The whole point of enlightenment, if there were to be one, which there isn”t, is to let go of everything, and that means “doing something” first and foremost. If you are planning to do something with your vision then. . . well . . . I gotta say you miss the truth of vision in the first place.
Existence isn”t doing. Existence is being. Maybe knowing.
vision and enlightenment aren’t entirely the same thing.
Really. I would say they are close enough for rock and roll man.
You can’t be enlightened without vision.
and what about the dalai lama?
