Yea, I kinda know the feeling - the little things are easily lost (I tend to do that with checkbooks). Maybe it's just somewhere, and given time, it'll turn up.. that does sound frustrating, tho!

One good thing - that days are getting longer from here until mid-June!

Sorry...really needed to vent and there's no one here. I'll be good now...promise.

;)New Years' is coming soon - it always gets better by then..

mental gymnastics

Good question! I think it's because the extension cords in our brains keep getting stretched a little farther to make those connections, and it's hard to get them into the right plugs.. Then the little elf that does the wiring has to keep running to a broom closet in the back of our minds to get another cord; sometimes tripping on the cords plugged in, and the lights blink blink a bit..

:)

 

Okay. Whatever. This is fine. I'm really super angry at you. Don't talk to me outside of it, don't even approve my comments. You are no friend of mine, then. You did make me clumsy, but now I'm just pissed. I'm tired of standing right in front of you saying "Hey! Here I am! Hi!" I hope that I never have to see you again or be reminded of you at all. I know there's a zero chance of me never thinking of you, so the misery will continue. Most definitely. I'm furious. Don't even look at me. I hate you. If I'm such a bother, forget I exist. Which you probably do anyway. Continue on with those other stupid skanky slut whores. I already saw what happened with you and that dim blonde bimbo. Your names matched, which is so terribly cute, isn't it? I don't care. You're not worth my time when I have...the safety blanket...of walking down the hall...RICHARD.

 

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE A MORON ANYWAY. I'M NEVER HELPING YOU AGAIN. I HAVE MY OWN WORK TO WORRY ABOUT. AND FINALS. I'LL GO BACK TO BEING ALONE. I DIDN'T NEED YOU BEFORE. I STILL DON'T NEED YOU.

 

...

 

 

:bigcry:

 

And you know what else? I knew you did that to everybody. I knew it. But I let myself get sucked in. I hate you. ;.;

 

 

This is all going to be erased when I see you again. The whole thing is stupid.

i think im getting the hang of this?

Poor Amanda walked in to a few really negative moments in this thread...don't worry, we're not always this way...

 

Here's my answer to my earlier post...

 

The Four Noble Truths

 

1. Life means suffering.

 

2. The origin of suffering is attachment.

 

3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.

 

4. The path to the cessation of suffering.

 

 

 

1. Life means suffering.

 

To live means to suffer, because the human nature is not perfect and neither is the world we live in. During our lifetime, we inevitably have to endure physical suffering such as pain, sickness, injury, tiredness, old age, and eventually death; and we have to endure psychological suffering like sadness, fear, frustration, disappointment, and depression. Although there are different degrees of suffering and there are also positive experiences in life that we perceive as the opposite of suffering, such as ease, comfort and happiness, life in its totality is imperfect and incomplete, because our world is subject to impermanence. This means we are never able to keep permanently what we strive for, and just as happy moments pass by, we ourselves and our loved ones will pass away one day, too.

 

2. The origin of suffering is attachment.

 

The origin of suffering is attachment to transient things and the ignorance thereof. Transient things do not only include the physical objects that surround us, but also ideas, and -in a greater sense- all objects of our perception. Ignorance is the lack of understanding of how our mind is attached to impermanent things. The reasons for suffering are desire, passion, ardour, pursuit of wealth and prestige, striving for fame and popularity, or in short: craving and clinging. Because the objects of our attachment are transient, their loss is inevitable, thus suffering will necessarily follow. Objects of attachment also include the idea of a "self" which is a delusion, because there is no abiding self. What we call "self" is just an imagined entity, and we are merely a part of the ceaseless becoming of the universe.

 

3. The cessation of suffering is attainable.

 

The cessation of suffering can be attained through nirodha. Nirodha means the unmaking of sensual craving and conceptual attachment. The third noble truth expresses the idea that suffering can be ended by attaining dispassion. Nirodha extinguishes all forms of clinging and attachment. This means that suffering can be overcome through human activity, simply by removing the cause of suffering. Attaining and perfecting dispassion is a process of many levels that ultimately results in the state of Nirvana. Nirvana means freedom from all worries, troubles, complexes, fabrications and ideas. Nirvana is not comprehensible for those who have not attained it.

 

4. The path to the cessation of suffering.

 

There is a path to the end of suffering - a gradual path of self-improvement, which is described more detailed in the Eightfold Path. It is the middle way between the two extremes of excessive self-indulgence (hedonism) and excessive self-mortification (asceticism); and it leads to the end of the cycle of rebirth. The latter quality discerns it from other paths which are merely "wandering on the wheel of becoming", because these do not have a final object. The path to the end of suffering can extend over many lifetimes, throughout which every individual rebirth is subject to karmic conditioning. Craving, ignorance, delusions, and its effects will disappear gradually, as progress is made on the path.
