Laughing :)

things neither exist nor don’t exist,
are neither real nor unreal,
are utterly beyond adopting and rejecting,
one might as well burst out laughing.

Yeah... i read this and i laugh too.
We grasp unto appearances as if our existence depends on them. Everything seems so damn important.
Thanks for sharing.

That is the dream, that we are the appearances. It is a wonderfully powerful dream. That's why I love movies so much, just one more appearance to play with.
Everything seems so damn important.
Including that thought!

When I first read your answer, I reacted, "how dare he say something like that about me, who does he think he is... blah, blah, blah.."
But immediately I was aware of the reaction I was also aware of the mechanism behind it.
It is the same mechanism behind his answer.
I think I know what he is saying, and he thinks he knows what I am saying.
And so we each have an "idea" of what the other person is saying and we respond according to our own idea, our own interpretation.
So really, we can never know for certain what the other person means, we can only guess according to our own experience.
So we never really react to other people, what we react to is our idea of other people.
If this is seen, then one can laugh!!!

It can inflate itself that way, make itself feel more important.
But it has to do that diminishing others, by making them wrong.
The biggest joke of all, of course, is that in fact, there are no others, just our ideas about them!

What others think doesn't matter... nothing has really change.
We only wasted more time analysing the opinions of others and all this is occurring within our own mind.
Spiritual learning is not a competition. The reward is yours to experience.
Rejoice in others happiness too.
