Spirituality

When will people stop buying into all this pseudo-psycho-mumbo-jumbo self-help crap?  I must admit, I'm the harshest of critics when it comes to these books.

Morality has existed since we first picked fleas out of each others hides in the forests of Africa. What's going to happen to it now?

I'm reading this book called "City of Joy". It's about blah blah blah some priest in Calcutta, more blah blah, and a rickshaw driver... readers have gushed about it since it's publication in the 70s – positively gushed – about how it has changed

You know what I get most angry about? When my anger is at peak?  When I realize that the world has too much, way too much, hypocrisy and arrogance. Arrogance -- the ignorance brought on by ego. Hypocrisy – the failure of an arrogant ego. Both are rooted in an evil overcompensation

Dharma comes like a whispering wind, then lightning, it comes and renders the parts of you that wants to understand, it splinters the labyrinth – crumbling down like a deck of cards, so futile and easy and loathsome – when it comes, it's a violent silence...

Much of the world is in shit, isn't it?  If you had a map, and if you lit spots in the world where there's violence, I think the round ball of mud would light up like a jack-o-lantern.
