Wikibooks - This is somewhat new to me. I have many ideas I am working on and wanting to work out and hoping others might join in with some of the things I would like to make happen. I think a lot about human suffering. I also think a lot about that episode on Seinfeld where George Castanza gets a rocking chair for the security guard at the clothing store. So Jerry was like "Are you feeling any suffering right now" in his high pitched tone - So George being a typical human can not see his own motives and wants to feel better about himself at the expense of the store owner. So easy for us to try to good things when really we are just wanting to appear smart or caring or whatever. It brings up a lot. What really is George the character really after? What is missing inside of himself that makes him this way? Feeling worthless inside maybe? Having no real sense of worth? Being treated a certain way in childhood that mangles that a person's mind. So when I say I think a lot about human suffering - truly do I actually give a crap? And who is judging me? And do I care? We are a society of children as Robert Bly puts it and he is right. Anytime people do things we always wonder what there true motives are and we wonder if any person actually has it together enough to actually make a difference. If we are after the gold star rewards and these are our motives - We are off track - And even when we think Ohh im not like those people who only do things for the social rewards of it all. Uhh huh then what are you? We have to find a place like what Depak Chopra talked about in his book the 7 spiritual laws of success. One of those laws I think the 3rd was talking about external justification and fear-based and spirit-based. And how people become so entangled with external rewards that they lose track. So often people understand how to gain power over others and they are in a position of power to ruin anyone who disagrees - But they have no clue about life. They do not know the way yet they are in charge and they will prove it to you. "Are ya feeling any suffering now" If we did not have humor how would we get through it all! So this is my first post. I still need to read the instructions for this site so Id better do that before I move forward.
