The Picture Thread Mark III

Damn, cole grey, you look like what's his face from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. If I were gay, I'd go for ya. :bugeye:

You seemed so calm with what you said to water, no emotional involvement at all.
Never mind, I take it back, you were being sweet.
Don't assume that that statement comes from projection, I wasn't overly concerned as water already dealt with you herself. I just thought it a bit strange to be so mean and then start talking all enlightened-like, in the next post, y'all.

Unfortunately,
unless I know of some other means of insight,
I have nothing else to assume,
apart from the imagining,
when I know that a supposed description of me fails to fit.

Internet technique,
not particularly personal,
deliberately calm to stay sane.

It is a delusion to think it safe to be emotionally involved with pixels on a screen.
That is my concern,
not the flavor of it.

As I saw the replies concerning me, in this thread, I thought of this song, by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers:


My friends


My friends are so depressed
I feel the question
Of your loneliness
Confide... `cause I’ll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will

X girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate
On the prison phone
They want... to give her 7 years
For being sad


I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don’t know yourself


My friends are so distressed
And standing on
The brink of emptiness
No words... I know of to express
This emptiness


Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release is peace


I heard a little girl
And what she said
Was something beautiful
To give... your love
No matter what

That is because she has never been honest with anyone, especially herself. She's too busy making up stories and trying to get everyone to love her.

"Oh, woe is me. Look at me. God dammit look at me!!"

It must be tough to constantly change both the backdrop and the facade to keep up the charade, no? And when people stop watching, she simply changes again. One must wonder at how boring and invisible her life must be in the real world to make such a fuss about herself on internet forums. She has my pity, and I was wrapped up in the drama of it for awhile... wrote a poem for her and got over it. It's best just to keep her on ignore so you don't have to watch the game when you already know the outcome. Sad really.

Kotoko,
I am moved to discern such a brave heart in your telling the truth of that,
cruel to be kind.

However the other truth is that elsewhere she has been an extraordinarily good friend to me.
and I am truly grateful for that.
so I grit my teeth and bear it.

No gain with no pain.

I was also hooked by the pity and intrigued by the vanity,
but there is so much more to estimate.

Within her ways I recognise too much of what I know of myself,
and with that in mind it is all forgiven,
with no effort.

Peace be with you all.

Kotoko,


The Dharma is everywhere.
May you realize this.
 
"When we're deluded there's a world to escape. When we're aware, there's nothing to escape." ~Bodhidharma

"To invoke the Buddha's name you have to understand the dharma of invoking. If it's not present in your mind, your mouth chants an empty name. As long as you're troubled by the three poisons or by thoughts of yourself, your deluded mind will keep you form seeing the Buddha and you'll only waste your effort. Chanting and invoking are worlds apart. Chanting is done with the mouth. Invoking is done with the mind. And because invoking comes from the mind, it's called the door to awareness. Chanting is centered in the mouth and appears as sound. If you cling to appearances while searching for meaning, you won't find a thing." ~Bodhidharma

It is clear, that you aren't learning anything except to recite, water.

When you stop lying to yourself, then talk to me of dharma. With a pure mind, and a pure heart I can see you are still full of shit. There is dharma, but dharma cannot be true and pure without honesty. One cannot understand or embrace dharma without purity of heart and mind.

But enough of your childish games... back on ignore you go.

Come on folks.
This was supposed to be the Picture Thread Mark III

If you want to play who's the better Buddhist,
start a thread for that.

:p

Okay, Sargent Lard. Take your diaper fetish and just shove it...

Oops. I meant. Brava, Sargenta Lardina! BRAVA!!! ;)
 
Gustav,


You are very intriguing.
On the one hand, you can make insightful, sharp, well-supported posts and I am sometimes startled by your intelligence.
On the other hand, you post around this forum like a troll.
And then everything inbetween.
This is confusing me.

So it is hard for me to tell when you mean something, and when you're just joking.

I had thought you were just playing a game, being nice to me.
You are married or have a girlfriend, right? This is one more reason to wonder why you call me sweet names and tell me your heart is mine.

I don't know what you want.
