Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

I constantly tell people to put down their phone because the real world is out here and not in there. Almost all of them absently nod and agree and keep on fingering their electronic device.

I have a rule that there are no phones/tablets/etc allowed at the table. Rule #2 in the House is that we WILL sit down together at the table at meals. You don't have to talk but, absent a life threatening illness/injury, you WILL be there. Don't even think about trying to get out of it because if you're not there when the food hits the plank, your shit won't be in your room when you finally do get home.

Dinner time can be as flexible as needed to accommodate life's left turns but dinner will be together. I have been firm enough on this that no one has tested it yet.


I grew up with that kind of structure. I haven't had a house dweller here Back East since longtime. The cats eat on their schedule and will join me for meals on the offhand chance that I'll share. Out West, we do eat together, but the landlady works odd house and isn't home often. Also, sometimes, I go to grab a meal out with The Boys. Daisy the Labrador likes that because Fahthuh brings his big girl some leftovers for which she is very grateful.

Faith is the basis of the path, the mother of virtue; it nourishes all roots of goodness.

~ Wu-chien



In relationships, the mind becomes purified by cultivating feelings of friendliness towards those who are happy, compassion for those who are suffering, goodwill towards those who are virtuous, and indifference or neutrality towards those we perceive as wicked or evil.

~ Yoga Sutra



You are not limited to this body, to this mind, or to this reality—you are a limitless ocean of Consciousness, imbued with infinite potential. You are existence itself.

~ Joseph P. Kauffman
 
I see that the Commonwealth has introduced some banner legislation. Who knew?


It is the little act of defiance that add substance to otherwise dreary day.


Wrest a little bit of control, one act at a time.

Humility is just as much the opposite of self-abasement as it is of self-exaltation. To be humble is not to make comparisons. Secure in its reality, the self is neither better nor worse, bigger nor smaller, than anything else in the universe. It *is*--is nothing, yet at the same time one with everything. It is in this sense that humility is absolute self-effacement.

To be nothing in the self-effacement of humility, yet, for the sake of the task, to embody its whole weight and importance in your earing, as the one who has been called to undertake it. To give to people, works, poetry, art, what the self can contribute, and to take, simply and freely, what belongs to it by reason of its identity. Praise and blame, the winds of success and adversity, blow over such a life without leaving a trace or upsetting its balance.

This 2A circlejerk ammosexual thread looks like a very good spot to put a link to the one below.

For your reading pleasure:

Isn't it fascinating to watch Conservatives - the loudest perennial detractors of government tyranny - suddenly cheering it on?

No worries. These ammosexuals will address the Pig's tyranny by saying it was Biden's fault and continuing to "stroke their barrels" on the porn board.
 
Adverse circumstances test our courage, our strength of mind, and the depth of our conviction in the Dharma. There is nothing exceptional about practicing Dharma in a good environment and atmosphere. The true test is if we can maintain our practice in adverse conditions.

~ Geshe Ngawang Dhargyey



The things I carry are my thoughts. That's it. They are the only weight. My thoughts determine whether I am free and light or burdened.

~ Kamal Ravikant



This accidental
meeting of possibilities
calls itself I.

I ask: what am I doing here?
And, at once, this I

becomes unreal.
