Is it acceptable to hate white people

we are all related, love

 

did you ever think it was not the people themselves but the feeling of hate that was the problem.. think about that..
when is it ever okay to just hate something? especially a person? loving kindness grows, here if not you deny the very essence of who you are, and so you live with a part of yourself cut off, the internet should be bringing us together and not further dividing us... but i guess this thread shows no one is exempt from those kinds of feelings, no one is perfect it has nothing to do with race
we all have something to offer, and we are all here for a reason, when we stop arguing over these stupid things, and come together, thats when we'll realize what we truly are, and what this world truly is
dont blind yourself with this, thoughts of the past, live in the present, see people as they really are, see with your heart

Is it acceptable to hate black tea?

 

Hate and acceptability are mutually exclusive terms.

 

In this case the question implies unacceptability. It's like trying to ask an objective question in a negative context.

 

As humans were driven by our emotions; if we had no emotions, no feelings, we’d essentially become machines with no drive beyond what is programmed into our DNA.

Not so. Love is not a human emotion. Human love is an emulation of the love that exists regardless of human existence. With no other emotions, humans would logically exist in a permanent state of peace (nothingness) and love.

 

For humans the only permanent state peace is in a rectangle apartment 84” x 28” x 23”
6 feet underground at a cemetery of our choice

Again, not so. At that point one would not logically know peace as one would be dead, there would be no perceiver to perceive the supposed peace. Nor any human brain to define it as "peace". However I understand the sentiment of what you were trying to say.

 

Peace is an attribute of the living, the dead rot.

 

Exactly. The dead are dead organisms, no more alive than the bacteria and microscopic organisms that eat away at the waste.

it sucks when you realize your thoughts ARE broadcast to the world, they are alive in themselves, that they have come to the house of your soul.. my thoughts are the fae (THIS IS NORMAL, there are no thoughts apart from the world, so lets think virtuously, awake to the fact, they are looking at us too, but they are only looking because they must and they have hearts, everything is potentially awake, waking, like wet rocks)
that there is no individual..
it sucks when you realize how many people could be computers, how blinded we are by computers
i have help though, LOVE BEATS ALL OF THAT
all of this has happened naturally... we are drawn from these bodies... and from these distinctions
that mash us against eachother, by the cosmic wind that is love
here through all things, we're shifting... and transforming
Love is the only constant, i'm sorry, it comes back to this... meaning for life... i'm sorry has drawn so much to happen and can't be understood
Love, sulos is what i take up... i admit misunderstanding
everything has a soul, a spirit... that there would be no bad... there is compassion...
the masons are an organization for the sake of organization, thats why they are out in the woods, destroying themselves
the plants, wont let it through, stop making styrofoam... you mix it all together and you say love...
this world is falling apart.. the edges... are fading away, rotting away, the bones, are there.. and this is heaven?
this is heaven and its earthy... this is wanti...
how we travel.. peacefully tao of fire... summer
love still comes, yaveyetta comes, things so great, so unknown... drop everything... too far gone
you will come back.. your home.. everything
love
my people have been in the shadows for so long, now we rise again.. now we know ourselves, we remember ourselves, and the magic in ourselves... this is the hope, and the innocence and the imagination and the freedom, we dont have to take the roles they give us, we don't have to think of up or down
of what they've latched upon us, over years, and said this is the reason... our true being is more than that...
so living in a true way...
they dont want to destroy this message, though it was destroyed
its your own soul
look deep in yourself.. if you choose to, we go where we can on the infinite spectrum of life
theres so much i could say, but the wind blows and time passes and where does it all mean anything
dreams and waking up the ends of days the tired feelings, and the misunderstanding.. LOVE
lets just say it and yet it is not the same how i've come to be under it all and another way finding time to cope to hold on and remember... just let it pour forth because thats all..
i trust you... trust me..
i trust the true you, trust me...
dragons are real, some one else needs to take this up but i can do it as long as i can
how many times has everything ended and the next day no one remembers anything?
who knows what they do... among it a spirit is eternal, and always remembers... thus good will rise up and compassion comes over them... and a way becomes clear... its a matter of time and persistence, honor, sincerity, love
don't abandon this world if you can
the stars watch this place.. and they smile... a love that gives hears understands and knows.. a love that is the source.. that makes from emptiness and grows
be yourself, never think you are afraid to love

From the beginning all beings are Buddha.
Like water and ice, without water no ice, outside us no Buddhas.
How near the truth, yet how far we seek.
Like one in water crying, "I thirst!"
Like the son of a rich man wand'ring poor on this earth we endlessly circle the six worlds.
The cause of our sorrow is ego delusion.
From dark path to dark path we've wandered in darkness,
how can we be freed from the wheel of samsara?
The gateway to freedom is zazen Samadhi.
Beyond exaltation, beyond all our praises the pure Mahayana.
Observing the Precepts, Repentance and Giving,
the countless good deeds and the Way of Right Living, all come from zazen.
Thus one true Samadhi extinguishes evils. It purifies karma, dissolving obstructions.
Then where are the dark paths to lead us astray?
The Pure Lotus Land is not far away.
Hearing this truth, heart humble and grateful.
To praise and embrace it, to practice its Wisdom,
brings unending blessings. bring mountains of merit.
And if we turn inward and prove our True Nature, that
True Self is no-self, our own self is no-self, we go beyond ego and past clever words.
Then the gate to the oneness of cause-and-effect is thrown open.
Not two and not three, straight ahead runs the Way.
Our form now being no-form, in going and returning we never leave home.
Our thought now being no-thought, our dancing and songs are the Voice of the Dharma.
How vast is the heaven of boundless Samadhi!
How bright and transparent the moonlight of wisdom!
What is there outside us? What is there we lack?
Nirvana is openly shown to our eyes.
This earth where we stand is the pure lotus land!
And this very body, the body of Buddha.

- song of zazen Hakuin Ekaku

 

Robots can perceive. Are they alive?

 

Can robots die? Could a robot even really understand what peace is?

 

They can run out of power and corrode.

Depends on how you define peace. Harmony vs. conflict. A robot could sense that.

But can a life of perfect peace yet devoid of all passion be considered life? I would say no.

 

If one considers passion and love synonymous then the answer is yes. Those other mentioned human emotions do not lead to passion. Love in many contexts leads to passion.
