When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once. Milarepa “Just as it is known t hat an image of one's face is seen d epending on a mirror b ut does not really exist as a face, s o the conception of "I" exist d ependent on mind and body, b ut like the image of a face t he "I" does not at all exist as its own reality." Nagarjuna "Thanks to impermanence, everything is possible. Nagarjuna

ReplyDeleteRemember Caligula? Promoted his favorite race horse to Premier: his admiring sycophants cheered,
but there were murmurs. Before long he was assassinated by his own. Perhaps what we are seeing is
an unusual example of the 'power corrupts' paradigm. If one is already powerful, used to getting
their own way, a practiced bully totally lacking in empathy or foresight, and gets elected to the
most important position in the country, it sort of explains things. We shall see how the power
of democracy handles this affront....

As I watched it @YouTube, the number of views went up from 1,081,231
ReplyDeleteto 1,088,104. Looking through the 800+ comments there, they were all
favorable and enthusiastic. Wonder if a fellow who hates criticism
likes being laughed at?
