When I was a teenager, I went to church, and almost every ‘Christian’ there was a complete asshole. What makes it worse is that they try to justify it. This honestly made me think that if God and Satan were real, I’d want to know Lucifer’s story. Maybe he’s not actually ‘evil.’
I like the approach of - there is no tue good or evil, but acts of nature. Life feeds on life.
A head monk asks his disciples to describe a pitcher of water without calling it a pitcher of water. Some monks say what it isn’t. Some monks describe what it can do at length. One monk says nothing, instead, he simply kicks the pitcher over with his foot; he is declared the winner.
What a koanvoluted way of gatekeeping, don’t you think? ;)
What’s a teacher to do when the lock to the gate is in the student’s mind?
Good question. What kind of gate are we talking about though? How umm… how gateful are we talking here?
Why, however gateful do you need to be? Tis a tease, a tease! Be as gateful as you please! Meander round it 'nd walk about, or walk right through it, in and out!
I like you.
I like you, too. Cheers, mate! 🍻

And on death and decay.
