Let me fall
into the darkness
empty
and become void.

    To me it was explained in the following way:

    The dharma consists of three parts:

    1. The “dao”, which is the thing that you want to protect. For example your house, your family.

    2. The work that you have to do to fulfill your protection. Like, necessary maintenance on the house, bringing food on the table, caring for your family.

    3. Finally, it is the interaction with the environment. Because your house isn’t the only object in the world, and sooner or later you have to talk to your neighbors.

    I agree that the wikipedia article doesn’t really discuss that, and I guess that there’s different interpretations of the dharma, just like there’s different interpretations of christianity. But that’s how a friend explained it to me, and it makes total sense to me. :-)

    Edit: So the connection is, that in the case of the meme, it is the earth that you want to protect. And to do this, you have to take the appropriate actions, like building your infrastructure around renewable energy, and stuff like this.

    I’d like to suggest looking further into one of my theories/something someone else mentioned in that thread, because I’ve found that the way it affects a lot of people isn’t super well reflected by the stuff you usually find when reading about it, but I don’t want to disrespect your wishes! If you’re interested, let me know

    I would like to know.


  • Then just as suddenly as it starts, one day I’ll wake up and I just won’t feel nauseous, and it’s like I was never even sick!

    Because it goes away on its own I’ve never been able to get to the bottom of it. When it starts happening, I book in with a doctor, by the time I finally see the doctor, the “flare up” has passed and any tests the doctor runs when I’m not sick are always normal.

    Yeah, this part hits with me. Every single time I go to the doctor, the symptoms disappear, and I question whether I really need a doctor. Then they reappear again :-/

    It’s like the sickness is avoiding being detected or sth… Like honestly, it stops the exact day of the appointment. And it’s worst on friday evening and saturday, where there’s definitely no impulse doctor visit. I’m being played.

    Yes, I agree. That would be the best case.

    However, I consider myself a little bit more realistic. Politics (especially in the US) will not allow for any form of socialism, be it UBI or something else, at least not in the near future. I believe that making fewer babies (contraception) is a strong handle that the people hold. Sure, people like fucking, but doesn’t determine baby count.
