There are people that it just bothers them and then there are the others to who it bothers and put all their effort in you not being that way, like trying to hold you back. It is so selfish, because it is such a good feeling to not be worried by unimportant things, maybe this is why I always lose things? But it goes beyond that, it is not letting things (that you should really not care about) affect the state you are in. I guess that when you stop caring it allows you to transcend. I barely smoke now though and was just a social stoner :tongue: but I think maybe it has to do with everything? it is a change in our perception, reevaluating things and life and you dont care about things that have no real importance. I think it is great, it feels great but ir does bother people, so much. It's crazy.
is it indifference or being free of meaningless things that keep you from seeing the ones that really matter?
I am almost never mad, and when I am, I think about slapping myself, because I have gone through so much shit in my life, moving over 14 times and im only 16, and living with like over 10 different families, but there are so many people in this world ,like child soldiers in Africa for example, that have it so much worse off than most of us do, so i think of it that i have no reason to be angry.
When you realize that your entire wonderful egocentric perception of being "important" is condenseed to about a billion times smaller than a grain of a grain of a grain of sand in the massive collective view of the known universe, then it become pretty rediculous to even considering caring about all that you once thought you knew ~
how can I be in that state when i constantly have to deal with morons? [people in person not on the forums] i hate people in general
I'm with you on that one.. but i just hate stupid people.. unfortunately that makes up for about 85-90% of all people.. at work today one cook was throwing a fit because waitresses werent ringing up their sides of sauce.. and shes like "i want your opinion" and i go "well.. you want my opinion?.. the fact that the sauce is not being charged for does not effect how much you or I make($$$).. and therefor i don't give a fuck".. but she gets pissed at the dumbest shit.. and i wonder to myself.. how miserable is your life to where you need to be pissed at everything
Amen. Ya'll should of heard the fuckfest this chubby bastard threw at my job today when I took his lunch order wrong. People are starving to death all over the world, and this fat turd wants to lynch me because there's not enough bacon on his bacon and lard sandwich.
at what point does your religion/beliefs imprison you.. just because you believe in nothing does not nessicarily mean nothing can hurt you.. when your nothing becomes the thing that holds you back from everything
I know how you feel, If a car I was in broke down, I would be happy. Then theres more time to listen to music. I don't care about too many things like that anymore either.
I dont believe I understand your question entirely. My religion/beliefs? My beliefs enabled me to practice Kriya Yoga while I was incarcerated, thinking that I was being charged with reckless homicide. My beliefs enabled me to walk out of court, right back into the cell, with a smile on my face. ~
In regards to the first post, I know exactly what you mean. I have no interest in material posessions. I see my firends strongly passionate about playing computer games and stuff, but I honestly dont care. Im 0% competetive and in general just dont care about anything. SOmetimes I wish I did care so that I could me more involved with cartain things, friends etc, But I just listen and watch. One of the reasons why I dont care is I dont distinguish between good and bad. I Have learnt the way of the tao and just accept whatever happens, Here is an old taoist tale: A farmers horse ran off, when the neighbours said how sorry they were he said- who knows what is good and what is bad. The next day the horse came back with other wild horses. The neighbours said how happy they were, The farmer said who knows what is good and what is bad. The farmer broke his leg trying to get the horses the horses back, THe naighbours repeated their fist statement, the farmer repeated his. THe next day and army general came to summon the farmer for military servive. but he couldnt go because he had a broken leg.
Considering that the guy jumped into my car, yes, I would have to agree with this statement. And why should I care? Have you been in that situation before? If not, I highly doubt you know what its like to be treated as that kind of criminal when you are innocent.
when people are dicks to you, you just gotta understand that they have stress and shit in their life and they just happen to be releasing it onto you. When i have impatient customers at work, i find it helpful to try to understand that they probably just had a bad day at work or something.
