Contemplation – September 12, 2023

I’m starting a form of blogging that reflects a particular thought or thoughts in a shorter format. Never fear I will not be giving up my typical longer format posts. I hope you enjoy these brief contemplations.

Today’s Contemplation

So it begins. The time for letting go is here. The dharma will be realized in this lifetime.

Enlightenment is now my primary goal, and all other goals must either come from this, or become secondary.

My purpose is to follow the path to nibbana to extinguish the fevers of greed, hate, and delusion

Namaste

Those who think they can damage me

How can you be damaged by people who don’t even know who you are?

They may have some cursory understanding of you, and yet they feel obliged to judge you, and instead of taking the high road they say or write disparaging things about you. These are the trolls of the internet, those who’s only purpose is to spew negative rhetoric about you. The trolls haven’t taken the time to learn about you, or digest your work with an open mind.

Remember they are not intellectuals, philosophers, or students of your work. You need to take the same attitude that Epictetus does and laugh at them and move on. These are not critics they are hate mongers and their feedback is not worthy of your consideration.

I only consider feedback from people that know me well. Life is too short to be absorbing negative messages from fools. Continue on with your good work and support those that have your best interests in mind. Remember those trolls and hate mongers can only cause damage if you let them.

Namaste
