Having desire does not equal your highest and best self, does it?

To try to get rid of your ego is like the biggest ego trip xD

I am that which observes my ego.

Are we getting into zen bhuddism now?

maybe

No, it's existential angst.

Man I am about to have some fun.

its pretty black pilled

If you're trying to get rid of your ego you're already 'better' than others

What is the first tenet of zen bhuddism.

It's an emotional philosophical hand grenade meant to disrupt your thinking.

Cmon, hit me. *gets some red and white paint*

Like a lot of the zen buddhist stuff.

Freedom from suffering is possible

liberation exists

There we go, and the freedom from suffering comes from removing desire.

No, freedom from suffering is a buddhist philosophical bit of shenanigans.

but in humans, this liberation tends to only occur in people with certain medical conditions

this gets toooo philosophical and im a simple animal with cravings and desires

You only avoid suffering if your nerves don't work.

To desire is to suffer. As you will either desire and not be fulfilled or you will get the things and then suffer to keep them.

You must understand it is not ot say you cannot have these things, but how would you react to lose them?

Yes, that fits buddhism. to live is to suffer physically. Enlightenment is to stop suffering mentally.

Mild aggravation.

This is non-attachment. And to practice it removes suffering because you cannot feel pain at the loss to that which you are not attached.

Well, I'd be pretty pissed if I lost my books.

I wouldn't react

I'd be really pissed if I lost my legs.

All things are temporary, aren't they?

yes, all is in a state of change

The natural state of the universe is movement

*is bored of fortune cookie philosophizing*

The tao that can be spoken is not the eternal tao

When a man is going against the natural state of the universe, he is going against himself, therefore you fall into apathetic self destruction
