*Why criticize temporary existence ?* Because temporary existence is a function of the mind - time bound and meaningless. I blame it because it makes us addicted to it. Temporary existence is Maya - illusion. And anybody who appreciates Maya is ignorant. Why would I appreciate some ignorant people enjoying their addiction to beingness. Beingness is unreal. Before you came to know of the "I am", you were in the state of not knowing that you were. You will eventually go back to that permanent state. If I praise you for enjoying this temporary existence, I might as well praise drug addicts, alcoholics, pedophiles, sexaholics and all criminals who enjoy this temporary existence much much more than you guys do. If I have a baby, I will accept it as a happening. I will take care of it. But only as a duty. Things just happen. Just like this "I am" came out of nothing and now I experience this world. But it is a big mistake to bring another life into this cesspool of suffering when you know clearly that death is a better way out. And Godszen - dont get addicted to your baby - that is another crime which we all do - create attachments and then suffer when the attachments get strained or broken. If a baby has happened to you, just be detached and do your duties. But don't go around telling how amazing a father you are or how amazing that baby is.
