Eastern anyone?

[dazed&fallen]

No, but I don't condem or look down on someone for following a different set of values.

i wouldn't condemn anyone as a human, but this silly ethnocentricity has got to go. it's the 21st century for christ's sake.

 

[Triggerfish]

lets not forget there are many different kinds of education.

which you lack in interpersonal communication, obviously since you alienated everybody no matter what their religion is and you did not accomplish anything you have set out to do in this thread.

And once again you condem any religion but your own as invalid.

incorrect, you only choose to see it that way

 

[Bustem' Down]

incorrect, you only choose to see it that way

But your saying your right and they're wrong. Correct?

 

[Triggerfish]

how do you know?

stupid is as stupid does? That's doesn't sound mature.... calling people stupid, uneducated, ignorant is productive? You are new here(I'm not saying I'm an old timer) but some people like Nickel and Bustem are usually very accepting of other people's viewpoints but you've received all negative posts and I do not think I've seen one post supporting you.

 

[dazed&fallen]

But your saying your right and they're wrong. Correct?

not wrong. incomplete, or not seeing the bigger picture is more appropriate.

 

[Bustem' Down]

But you have the bigger picture.

 

[Triggerfish]

What make you think you have the "big picture?"

 

[dazed&fallen]

i see visions

 

[Bustem' Down]

i see visions

And so this makes you more qualified to point fingers than anyone else?

 

[dazed&fallen]

can you think of a better reason? my finger is only pointed at their blindness.

You are the first elitist buddist I've ever met.

 

[Triggerfish]

What makes you think "they" don't see "visions" also.

 

[dazed&fallen]

What makes you think "they" don't see "visions" also.

can't really say they don't, all i know is what I see.


You may think I’m distraught
Just because my tongue is caught
You and all your complaints
You must think you’re some saint
When I talk to you in meekness
You work to expose my weakness
It’s unreal, I wonder what’s your deal
Are you like me? Do you struggle to be free?
Would you sell your soul just to feel?
To be real, more than just another number
and fight for the peak until the years pull you under?
So now I’m distraught, or just mistaught
If I could match your moods and feel your grooves
My vacant stare seeks to find your thoughts
Like fingerprints, learn your significance
If you let me, i promise you won't regret me.
feel my freedoms, like hedon but deeper
in the unknown realms I am a seeker
What’s danger when we’re all gonna die?
Some friends pass on, it makes me cry
Since I’m still here, I must burn bright
Live for right now and not lose sight
My faith has run dry, so I use my third eye
I seek just to find just some way to unwind
From the visions my inner prisons
And isolations, like I rule my own nations
When I’m alone in my room
Left to fester in my tomb
but even though my mind may rot
i'll never be just another robot.

Alos, if your going to use big words Mr. Intelect, you should use them correctly. Ethnocentricity is not really appropriate to this conversation because it is about religion and not race.
