Waking up and staying awake

The only reason Buddha Shakyamuni appeared in this world, the so-called “Unforgetting World”, was to wake us sentient beings up so that we could experience lasting freedom and happiness. The only reason ANY Buddha, also known as “Awakened One”, appears anywhere in any world is for this purpose. Venerable Geshe-la has said that the real meaning of meeting Geshe Kelsang is to realize emptiness.…

Scientific advance is precarious. It depends upon institutions, such as universities, which owe their existence to the wisdom of supremely unprogressive epochs, and their durability to a spiritual capital which they are always spending and which they seldom replace.

The psychopathy of capitalism, characterized by an excessive pursuit of profit often at the expense of ethical considerations, manifests palpably through widening economic inequality and the commodification of human relationships.

Dragon you into the New Year

Happy Chinese New Year (2/10) The Year of the Dragon A day for a worthwhile lesson: “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is the easiest; and third by experience, which is the most bitter.” – Thank Confucius for that wisdom. And there’s no dragon you down with the right attitude today. (yeah, I went there)

The similarities between Cirrus and Jing Yuan are so good. I just keep coming back to the idea. Cirrus was disillusioned at first but they were each other's match. I love how they both think and act in similar ways and how they manipulate and play the waiting game. And I adore how in the end Jing Yuan makes a comment about being somewhat envious, as a warrior, of the future generals that will have to face Cirrus again; just like Cirrus longed to face the general.

Painted Hearts | Explained 💔

Your heart leads you astray. It leads you into bad relationships. It leads you to the point of being taken advantage of, being hurt, and becoming broken.

Listening to your heart makes you weak because you are listening to what you want to believe instead of what is actual reality.

Listening to your heart tells you you're in love, but ultimately, that love is meant to hurt you and bring you years of misery.

Listening to your heart makes you stay in places you don't belong trying to make things happen that never will, but your heart keeps holding on...to a hope, a dream, a memory...that you should let go.

But your heart will hold on long after the last call, even when you're all alone, even after the fall.

Your mind, however, when you listen to your mind, you write books and shit. You accomplish your goals legit. You do things you never did back when you were being distracted by all that heartbreaking.

When you listen to your heart, you date that bad guy who ends up holding you back and giving you scars. That was listening to your heart. Listening to your heart causes you to possibly lose years of your life to an unhappy heart. Ah, the irony. Listen to your mind, and your heart will follow, but listen to your heart, and you lose your mind.

Can’t get a consultation for wisdom teeth surgery until August… I really hope they don’t start causing pain before that. And that also means I’m probably going to only be able to have the surgery during the fall semester, and I desperately wanted to avoid having to deal with recovery during classes. Fml.

And so it is written, let not the seekers of truth flout the sacred path of the scientific method, for therein lies the enlightenment of knowledge and the illumination of understanding.

Ken" pertains to a hypothetical individual within the context of discussing the psychopathy of capitalism. In examining this concept, one might assert that the unchecked pursuit of profit and exploitation of resources inherent in capitalist systems can engender traits reminiscent of psychopathy in individuals, as evidenced by prioritizing self-interest over ethical considerations and the well-being of others. Furthermore, the perpetuation of systemic inequalities and the commodification of human labor within capitalist structures can exacerbate such tendencies, potentially leading to detrimental social and environmental consequences.
