The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
the temporal dimension is an illusion, you're all learning a lesson in retrospect

yeah whether or not you want to attach buddhism to it, taking time each day to just chill out and observe your mind and body is healthy. part of the reason the world sucks so much, aside from basic poo poo like scarcity, is that people are so swept up in their thoughts that they treat them like real, actionable objects. they don't bother to observe where those thoughts come from, so they act on impulse. take the common shitpost, for example. many goons have a post arise in their dumb monkeybrains and, without bothering to assess its cause or merit, they utter it into the world. see: this post

Maybe we should start each thread with a group meditation? Can someone please write up a shitpost verse we can all say together after the meditation.

Ask someone with a clue instead of on asking this forum. Asking a bunch of drug-and-chronic-masturbation-hosed monkeys how to quiet your monkey mind cannot end well.

If you do choose to follow the advice of multiple goons in your spiritual quest, please do post the results here. I foresee a saga in the making, a large and long-lasting trainwreck giving joy to haters of peace, the details of which will be reposted and reposted long after you shuffle off to Nirvana or Hell or wherever.

Warm blessings.

The Buddha teaches us that one suffers because one desires. If one goes through life without expectations, one cannot know disappointment. How can I attain such a level? How can I pacify my mind?
