NP, are you speaking to me? If so, what are you referring to? I stated first that I disagree with the Professor in judging Islam preferable to no faith at all.

@MOD
I’m not sure if “self-centeredness” translates the meaning of the word “egocentrism” that I meant in that sentence.

MOD:
According to an AI search, the two terms are interchangeable, Veet Francesco.

Would you then say that a people without a spiritual conviction are empty at heart, and ready for a collapse?

Before commenting on Lewis Ruthmond’s words shared by Klaus, about the wisdom of finding “your own pace” (not just your external pace), here’s a funny and moving speech from a comedian.

A sharing of how compassion, by someone who graduated from Harvard University and then began learning from his failures, frees us from our self-centeredness, making room for joy and celebration.

Shantam, in your religion, Waheguru has no rivals.
I don’t think you handle the idea of the devil very well. It’s a Western thing. Don’t get involved. You don’t have enough guilt, like psychopaths.

I wonder if you’re always turned whitin, NP, or only when you meditate in your room—that is, if what happens outside your room can affect your kindness and joy.

I don’t think your “turn whitin” will help you overcome your paranoia about communists, people who in NL aren’t known for their kindness, joy, celebration, or dance…very different from the peaceful neoliberal heroes.

Meanwhile, the post-fascist Italian government has just sent 100 soldiers to Romania, making Mark Rutte, a Bill Clinton admirer, as enthusiastic as Monica Lewinsky.
The cause is said to be a Russian drone that crashed in that country; the mainstream press immediately identified it as the one that was launched from the toilet window of Vladimir, the Black Lamb of God.

Well, the answer is simply this: turn within. Let the example you set be one of kindness, joy, celebration, dance, and not Ché Guevara’s revolutionary fervour, or the philosophy of Marx. The mind and its knowledge of history are not your friends.

That’s hilarious, and sharply observed.
