Checking the fluids in my car makes me feel like a man.
COULD i show a woman my "yang"??? Aside from all the various impracticalities & impossibilites, am i capable of being that to a woman???
:question: :idontknow:
You totally are capable. The trick is finding the woman that is your Ying.
That, is the key.
So many philosophers seem to believe that there is so much to learn from being in contact with other human beings. I wish I would know how to learn any wisdom from them. All I seem to learn from people is how they are annoyed with their neighbours, how they are rebuilding their entire kitchen, and what they did during the week-end (usually not much). I do have philosophical discussions sometimes, but it always end up being me opening someone's eyes on something and not the other way around, and it's not like I'm a particularly wise one or anything. Maybe one would need to leave everything behind and go on a long journey across the world looking for the very few who figured some things out, to be able to discover anything.
I can't relate to most people. Romantic love, for example, is something I've never felt so I don't really understand the troubles of family who're dealing with love stuff. Or like all love songs are totally meaningless to me because I've got no clue what you're supposed to feel when you listen.
The emotions that I "get" are ones like stress and frustration.
Snap! .....
Snap! = short for "same here"
:question:
Oh, wow, gotcha. That interpretation did not occur to me. I assumed you were just saying that you were taken aback, not that you related to what I said. Thanks for clearing this up for me
There really isn't much to discover other than the death of the ego is what gets you to a higher plane of consciousness but it will also totally put you at odds with this ego driven, "first world" society we live in.
People will not like or understand you if you kill your ego.
In some ways the people who you have been talking to have it right.
Ignorance is truly bliss.
