>dude nothing matters, it's all an external flow of phenomena, it doesn't truly concern you, free of yourself of dukkha
>but buddha ji! if nothing matters, why are you teaching me? why don't you simply sit in a corner in silence and achieve nirvana?
>because....because the only...uhh justification for any and all actions is...uhmm compassion(?)
>but buddha ji! doesn't compassion bring attachment and therefore, dukkha, with it?
>uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
>also, why would compassion be a justification?
>uhmmm because...uhhh we're all one! so...when you love another person and want them to achieve nirvana, you actually want yourself to achieve nirvana! so it's really you instructing yourself!
>but buddha ji! wouldn't that line of thinking bring one even more attachment to the world by perceiving it as a part of oneself, and therefore, much dukkha with it?
>CHUP CHUP CHUP HO JAO GANDO PAA GUL GADHA KUTTA BHAN CHOD! MAA DAR CHOD!! PAA DUUNGAA!
>Buddha Ji!!! *gets disintegrated*
Between Buddhism and Abrahamism, I don't know which is more schizophrenic.

Buddhism at least is logical and pedantic where Christianity is emotional mood swing coercive. The death of self is not the way. The life of noble self is the way, Arya!

If you actually knew the feeling of mature empathy or compassion, you would know it's not clingy. Knowing that all is transient doesn't take you out of it or mean you have no responsibility for yourself or your surroundings, you act in every moment, and inaction is simply the immature action, based on fear and ignorance
So you help and try to teach others because they don't understand their suffering and you do

It's not surprising whatsoever, I too would wish complete eternal dissociation from the world if I lived in fucking Tibet, or most of the asian countries really
