I Am The Most Selfish Person In The World.

Because it doesn't make sense. I do understand it and I see that it doesn't make sense.

Tell me why you think that all existence is misery. And that "ignorant craving" which to me is nothing more than wanting food and shelter is the cause of this.

 

As I said, you wouldn't understand. You clearly do not understand, and that's all there is to it. It's very basic, about as basic a distillation of those words and concepts as can exist. If you cannot understand, you will probably never understand, and it would take a fool to try to teach you.

 

It is basic to think that all existence is misery? Maybe I don't "understand" because I don't agree. Why would ALL existence by misery?

What is so miserable in your life that you think that "all existence is misery?"

Maybe you need an antidepressant or a good hallucinogen to get you out of that.

If you can explain to me why "all existence is misery," I'm all ears......

Does anyone else on this forum think that all existence is misery? Do you disagree? Maybe I should start a new thread for this, but I don't want to get kicked off...

 

I don't but suffering and passion are synonyms.

 

No they're not. Unless you're talking about the crucifixion of Jesus.

All existence is not misery. If it were, I would be miserable all the time. Which I'm not.
