if everyone, and I mean EVERYONE walked the path of the sage for just once, the world would be a better place
>>83077134Could you share some wisdom you learned on the path of the sage?
>>83077658>wisdomthere is nonetell me anon, what makes the Buddha better than you?
>>83077749The buddha knows he knows nothing?I would mention Matthew 18:3. It is a similar idea
>>83077749>Matthew 18:3Haha, you've got itthat is genuinely the point of life, to be like little children, full of wonder and awe towards everything in life, even the mundane
>>83077134>if you did this...do it yourself, then the world will be a better place
>>83077134The problem is that normalfags are closer to orcs
>>83077134I disagree. If everyone walked the path of the sage, they'd be subject to the misfortunes of being a sage. They'd have to deal with the hurdles of figuring out whether being a legal autist actually makes you spiritually holy, or a hypocrite. And then having to avoid being cast around by powers that don't have your best interest in mind, which leads to people becoming cranks, charlatans, quacks, or even worse witches/warlocks/satanists. I believe it's a job that must be forced upon you, and it's a choice as to whether you'll accept the job or not. I never trust a self proclaimed sage that went out of his own volition to become one, because more often than not they're one of the ones that are stuck on the legalistic loop.
>>83077134Most do not have time or luxury to actually pursue it. Many people have to fight to survive and socializing is part of that fight, takes away from self-reflection and all that. Most succumb to the depression involved with not doing a whole lot with yourself.
>>83079132>neither time nor luxuryyeah... i've noticed how it's a sort of priviledge to self-reflect and be introspectiveyou just have to have a lot of free time to do... nothing
>>83079199I am one of the lucky ones, in a way.I kind of had to resolve the thing that was making me want to go on a school shooting or go postal for survival's sake and having a lot of time to sit on my duff and go in circles in my head, makes you notice the lack of real "fuel" to keep spite like that burning.I'd say I mellowed out after that, I'd even say that I'd thrive in solitary confinement if it came down to it. But y'know, society hates idle hands and all that. Gotta wear yourself down so you can live long and die alone.All the things I liked are dead and all the things I hate are years away. Kinda leaves an empty hole where my heart was.Cheers to another night of miserable reflection and meager sleep!
