It is sad those kids were still that bitter so late into their lives. You hafta learn to put things aside and forgive. Show compassion. In the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad of the Hindu vedas there exists a simple, three-fold path or method to peace among one another: damyata datta dayadhvam. The "da da da" of TS Eliot's The Wasteland. exercise self control (damyata). give of yourself first (datta). show compassion (dayadhvam). This is how you fight the 3 demons that cause all harm upon mankind. And this path was laid out by mankind before ANY religions were formed on this earth. This was the wisdom of the first small communities of man ... from as far west as the British Isles, as far north as Scandinavia, and extending all the way into China down to the tip of SE Asia and back into the Indus valley. Ancient wisdom of man from his first tribes and shacks. Don't live your life in hate and anger.

We already view the buddha as the ninth avatar of vishnu so the tie between buddhism and sanatan dharma old hat. In many academic circles Buddhism, Jainism and a couple of others are said to comprise the "nastika" theology of Hinduism (opposed to parts of the vedas) while others form the "astika" (in accord with the vedas). Buddha was also knowledgeable of the vedas, he just didn't reach the same views on the mandukya upanishad in his universal narrative. It's a beautiful piece for sure - but not because of any Hindustan insight. Followers of vedantic beliefs knew this already.

JeffMesser comments on Jun 30, 2018:

Because it's an internal conflict. You don't just go POOF! and it goes away. If you do then you're not there yet. it comes. The anger phase happens because escape velocity must be much faster/stronger than normal cruising speed once you get some objectivity. Then when you're above it things get so distant and you wonder how you got sucked in. Being angry is a natural reaction. After awhile it goes away - especially if during that time you develop a new foundation that more befits your new person. Now I see it as you say, but occasionally they will sucker me into hating them again until I can feel the distance again. How we are raised has a tremendous impact on who we are later in life. It's not an easy conflict to resolve. Professionally we call it "cognitive dissonance".

JeffMesser comments on Mar 2, 2018:

Best Picture - Get Out, Ladybird, or Shape of Water. The others all have flaws. I personally preferred Get Out. Lead Actor - I really thought the best was Gary Oldman for Darkest Hour. But some sympathy votes will probably choose either Chalamet for a gay role or DDL for it being his last picture. Lead Actress - Frances McDormand by a mile. Meryls role wasn't that good, Margot wasn't that good, Saoirse did good but I don't think they'll give it to her. Sally Hawkins could be a sympathy choice. Supp. Actor - I am gonna say DaFoe even though Woody and Sam rockwell were both good. I could see Plummer as a sympathy vote for what he had to do to finish. Supp. Actress - Strictly between Laurie Metcalf and Allison Janney. Both of them had excellent roles and did excellent jobs with them. I prefer Metcalf's because she turned into my mom ... but Janney probably was the best. That was a rich character. She was damn good. Octavia's role was to be herself and I didnt consider the other two even in the ballgame.

Ghosts: Rational, legitimate study says 85% of gay people are possessed

JeffMesser comments on Dec 22, 2019:

oh, there's a lot more to it than this but yeah it IS kind of funny. I've spent the last 10 years or so "deciphering" the primary upanishads and the 4 vedas from which they sprang. The upanishads are like gems of philosophical wisdom derived from earlier portions of the associated veda that deal primarily with actions and stories. Kinda like if the christian bible has a separate chapter at the end that tried to explain all the philosophical concepts addressed within the rest of the book. I had to go BACK to those upanishads (written thousands of years ago) because the more current texts that described the heuristic concepts all suffer from the same type of errors you see in this "study". I had to go back to sanskrit and read/interpret it myself instead of using modern translations. The reason being that those translations and views are based on the same wacky views of "science" as used by the study cited here. It is the physical science understanding of the Hindus and compared to western science it is very outdated in several respects. They even use the daily practice pacamaharajna analysis of karma yoga which is the entire rationale behind the Hindu view. Unfortunately the rest of their analysis is based on a complete misunderstanding of rebirth. So they have a skewed view of a skewed view. The original analysis for sattvik karma was merely a reference to the daily actions one must take to counter negative karma from influencing rebirth. It was all pure speculation derived back in like 800 AD by the author of the Vivakachudamani (believed to be Adi Shankara). Today (in the west) we base our science on understanding the processes. Back then they organized and explained by cause and effect. Thus their explanations are often WAYYYY off (usually actually), but they DO have better and older cause and effect relationships to examine. You have to do your own "discrimination" to reveal the truth from the chaff. Which is, of course, the entire purpose of the Vivakachudamani ... discriminating between the real and the illusory. Here is the "analysis" from the original study. It's not really about ghosts. But you can take from it what you wish. The only people who believe rubbish like this are those without an education. Hindus are not like christians in that regard - we tend to update our knowledge and beliefs. Both the Buddha as well as the Mahabharata persist that beliefs and views must update as man grows. As the 9th avatar of Vishnu this ties the Buddhist views to Sanatan dharma (modern "Hinduism") and all vedic beliefs. I filter these things out to discover the ancient message intended.
