lust isn't a problem unless you're harming someone, or yourself and using it as an excuse

stop lashing yourself, just treat your partners with respect

go back and read ecclesiastes again

I like Bodhidharma and the poems of Stonehouse

Stonehouse

i.
letting go means letting everything go
buddhahood has to go too
each thought becomes a demon
each word invites more trouble

ii.
the whole Buddhist canon is worthless old paper
seventeen hundred tangled vines

Bodhidharma

i.
when you're deluded, buddhahood exists
when you're aware, it doesn't exist
this is because awareness is buddhahood.

ii.
a buddha can't be found in words
or anywhere in the Twelvefold Canon

I ask myself this all the time. It feeds perfectly into my more depressed moods when I reach the boundary of the ineffable. I get lower and lower trying to chip away and put into words everything that all other idiologies have failed to put into words for me personally. But then there are other times when this question turns into something that gives me energy in a "life is what you make it" way. All religion/organized way of thinking is fiction and a celebration of what we are unable to see or hold or point at in a physical sense. Stories, symbols, and metaphors that are only able to dance around the boundary of truth.

To answer your question more directly, idk. I just try to do my best to love and, when I remember, thank the good feeling when it comes back around.

What authors give the best interviews?
