For someone who is not triggered, that's a pretty long post of you trying to justify your own ignorant views.
You need to stop projecting your own flaws and insecurities upon other members of this forum. You have a constant psychological need to talk about how wrong other people's opinions are, and ignore that you project your own opinions as facts. I'm not blind, nor am I stupid. Most on these forums aren't either. That's why they don't have the time to deal with your childish views of your own superiority. Most of the time, I choose not to deal with it either. When I deal with people who are closed off to reality, I make my statement and get out. That's why I choose to make my statements to you, and then inform you that I'm not here to get into an extended back and forth. I'm never going to change your opinions of how great you are and how stupid everyone else is. I'm no shrink, but it sounds like you have atelophiba, considering how much you fear being wrong that you must exert some sense of self-superiority compared to others.
That's not to say I haven't agreed with your opinions, on occasion. I'm not going to dig up all my past postings of when I've liked a post of yours, or agreed with a post of yours, but it has happened in the past.
I'm mature enough to try to view every opinion on its own merit, even if I find the person behind it generally distasteful. I'm mature enough to not demean others as a way of puffing up my own self worth. Unlike someone with a false sense of perfectionism, I am confident enough in myself that I'm not afraid of being I'm wrong, and as a result better myself as a person.
I've said about all I wanted to say to you regarding this subject. Continue as you wish.
Suppose you had once suffered a deep existential realization that there is no such thing as good and evil in the eyes of the universe, that everything that people like yourself believe is good will get you nothing bur death as a reward and everything evil gets rewarded in the here and now, that monsters are winners and saints fools, that that is the real truth, that you live in denial and in deep despair and misery because of honesty the failure to maintain your world of lies.
Now imagine something strange happening, that I woke up under the Bo tree, instantly stripped of all this great certainty, that nothing you believe and what I ceased to believe, replaced with so called honest facts, that nothing that you or I believed was real, that what I realized is that I know nothing.
What would that mean. Would it not mean that belief is the root of suffering and I no longer believe. That means that before doubt when I was happy as a child suddenly returns, that all there is is the childhood innocence of being. There was never anywhere to go, nothing to become, nothing needed to be believed, nothing but the infinity of living here and now.
Can you imagine how cruel I could become, seeing in you the suffering you have yet to realize you might experience if for some reason you had something happen in your life that caused you to start questioning everything as I did. In order to tell you not to worry about things, that the meaning of life is to live, you will have to see as I did that everything you believe is bullshit. So sorry.
And what a massive ego I have declaiming that I coming to the realization of my ignorance is call ego death. How dare me tell you to realize you know nothing. How insulting to discover that a huge hurdle to awakening to life can’t manifest where one’s teacup is full and you believe a ton of cabbage is sacred.
I have said many times my aim here is to offer sone insight to seekers who realize their need, but I go out of my way to treat all of the complaints of those with them with the dignity of truthful replies, replies owing to the depth of ignorance encountered cause them to be long and extensive.
And don’t feel guilty about crapping on my efforts to help you and others see their ignorance, naturally for your own personal benefit, asking for nothing in return. All the anger you feel about me pointing to your foolish beliefs, I had to experience myself.
My initial contact with something beyond my understanding came from a chance reading of Zen, that put me into massive fits of rage. How dare those fuchers be happy empty as I had become of belief.
Not only am I threatening the bliss of your ignorance, your notions of knowing things, but it is welcome and perfectly OK. The idea that I am triggered or something is just more crap you have conjured into existence to prevent you from self confrontation.
Love you but only so far as I have seen through all the beliefs I accumulated to protect myself from pain as a child. We have much in common.
Just your willingness to respond means to me you are less risk averse than many. Expect criticism for that, like ‘don’t feed the troll’. You can know everybody when you become aware of the ridiculous absurdity of ego.
