3bob Posted July 6, 2014 Well observed 3bob. Â "When you see an unworthy person examine yourself closely." Â That op was for a little fun although sometimes strangely true for many of us...

Silent Answers Posted July 7, 2014 When I see somebody getting into a rage like that (and here I have abundant opportunity) I enjoy pushing them over the edge little bit more....or do something completely random to throw them off. Â Sometimes it's amusing just to see what they will do next... Other times people get so angry that the rage bubble bursts and all that anger gets released. Â I know I'm a bastard...but hey, if I didn't get involved they'd still be having a crappy day...at least somebody is able to get a kick out of it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheshire Cat Posted July 7, 2014 who is this "you" and who is this "I", the four-fold negation knows. (or should it be said that it knows that it doesn't know) Â It's just the relative bodhicitta thing, meaning that as long as I have a dualistic mind, I see the world as populated by sentient idiots and I consider myself the bodhisattva-saviour of humanity. Â Yet, I have to work on my mind because sometimes I think that I am the real idiot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
