[QUOTE="✿°♥｡✰𝒿𝔞𝕪𝒿𝔞𝕪✰｡♥°✿, post: 71941, member: 147"] I don't know dude. But I almost fall into this very simplistic line of thinking that "all you have to do is to be like Jesus and problems solved!" or "love is the answer to all problems". No, I don't think so. It reeks of idealism and it is cringe. I mean, why is it better to be Jesus or Buddha than to be a sadistic psychopath hmmm? According to whom are one of set values better or worse than the other. Rather, I see that for both of these cases these judgments arise based on past causes and conditions. Life is too complex... the appropiation of values happens unconsciously. It is said that thought is a post racionalization machine for actions that the brain already decided it was going to do, and it all happens through this self model generated by the brain, but I don't know what am I even talking about anymore. I just got into some non-duality and buddhism to cope. I don't know if you are getting my point, but I just want to say that sometimes we get to much into being "humble" or "arrogant" that we don't realize that these things just arise by themselves, and it is just the ego who appropiates it later. So I guess... why to take it so seriously? I understand pretty much that for many different people different set of values are given different levels of importance given by [I]past conditioning[/I], but it sometimes seem as if people are making of empathy or love an ultimate reality, and for me it is simply ridiculous, and don't you think the same could be said about people who say the opposite the opposite... that cruelty or the demiurge are the ultimate reality, or that the world is hell...
