Depends on how you look at it, I guess. Being cruel to a rock probably doesn't mean much in the way of karma but it doesn't reflect well on you either. But not to the same degree it would if you were cruel to a dog. I dunno.

Reddit is the spiritual materialism (and every other kind of materialism) capital of the internet, and a hive of frauds besides, so I wouldn't take any of those responses especially seriously. If anything I think with hobbies and "unwholesome" entertainment or whatever it is not necessarily a problem to indulge in those things, except if/when those things become a significant distraction in other areas of your life; that is, it's fine to play video games, but if playing them is causing other problems (ignoring other duties, or consuming a large degree of your thoughts when you're not playing them, causing you rage and anxiety) then it is worth taking a step back to cultivate the state of mind that allows you to look at their role and presence in a detached way as such that you can see that problem. In other words, if you have been playing Elden Ring for 7 hours straight, mindfulness is looking at that and realizing that it is a problem without getting judgmental of yourself for having done it but instead taking time to refocus.

I watched that one last night. It's a good'n It's amazing how basically nothing he said was even remotely close to Zen, and even more amazing that he's been dead for 25 years and still has devoted followers

Yeah Spacegrass given your post history in this thread I'm not sure if you're genuinely confused and looking for a dialog or if you're doing a bit.

Pollyanna posted:What exactly is happening here, when it comes to my wellbeing? Is this emptiness because of some ignorance or attachment I neglected to address? Are my thoughts and actions inherently clouded until this passes or resolves? And if so, what do I do now? What has this loss caused, and how has it changed how I feel and think? (Is it even a loss at all, or am I just deluded or mistaken?) I've rearranged your post here to illustrate that at least some of your confusion originates in the fact that you seem to be putting the answers first and the questions second, and reading your words in this way may be enlightening. The attachment that's troubling you isn't the one to your cat, but rather to the idea that you "should" be grieving in some way that you're not, and it's prompting these questions. That is the attachment that's plaguing you. Buddhism does not advocate being indifferent to loss or stoic in the face of it. You have asked, "I have lost a dear friend; why am I clouded and empty?" Instead answer, "Why am I clouded and empty? Because I have lost a dear friend." Heath fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jan 25, 2024 |
