Subject: Re: Freedom from Suffering

gv:
There's lots of people these days running around
saying that they are either partially or totally
miserable. I am naturally curious about such
claims, although I'm not concerned about them.
But I do question it when there is the opportunity.
In a world of such beauty it is surprising that there
is so much obsession, depression and anxiety
about the darkness of oneself and the world. You
may be wasting your remaining moments doing
that or you may not be doing that. I don't know.

Bob: There are lots of people these days running
around saying that they are unitarily blessed, pro-
baly totally. I am naturally curious about such claims,
although I'm not concerned about them. But I do
question it when there is the opportunity and I have
nothing else to do. In a world of such blinding bril-
liance, it is surprising that there is any connection
with reality at all, since perception has gone unitary
and misery is no longer acknowledged because it
makes us seem somehow, ordinary, less evolved.
You may be wasting your remaining moments
dodging fear through contrived beauty and trans-
cendence, or you may not be. I don't know. :-))
