doing as good as possible * 1
    #26624033 - 04/24/20 07:04 AM (3 years, 9 months ago)

there is endless improving of action possible through saying to oneself I will not do something negative


when the programming reaches the whole self the understanding that any good doing and improvement in action can be achieved by

not doing something negative

for example not smoking cigarettes

things necessary to bring healthy

you have to say to yourself I will not do it

and keep score

maybe you will not be able to weed out all the shit in an instant

but keep thinking like this

and take it one step at a time

it's your life

you can't redo it

it happens infinitely many time and make it so you want to revisit it

drawing etc. instead of watching tv

like this

like some territory is not highly valued


do one improvement like this every day

like a pushup

identify the fields

maybe figure out how it should be ideally

then stay with yourself and your schedule

good year

The followers of Jainism believe pest control is negative. Does that mean you will no longer kill bugs of any sort?

Perhaps progressive types lean towards Jainism by depending on professional exterminators; ergo progressive types are not out-doorsy people.

The prospect of anyone being a Jainist at heart might include their adoration of muscle-bound bad boys as a corollary proposition, in that a Jainist might cultivate a bad boy to suit Jainist purposes.

I might be a jain, I only eat dead animals that have already been killed.
They are pretty tasty. most parts of them, not the hair or feathers or shells or claws.

Restraint is an idea that's rarely discussed!

It's interesting how we often talk about restraint (= lack of action) as being so incredibly difficult. Climbing Mount Everest, getting a Law degree, and planning a mission to Mars is difficult. In a very different way than a lack of action, such as choosing to not smoke or not overeat or not getting drunk every night. I think with the right perspective, restraint (lack of action) is fairly easy and requires no real effort. If we have to "fight" a battle within ourselves, in order to not engage in harmful behavior, something is very very wrong.

I quite like the majority of these ideals :wink:
:feelsgoodman:

Quote:

The main religious premises of Jainism are ahiṃsā(non-violence), anekāntavāda (many-sidedness), aparigraha (non-attachment) and asceticism. Devout Jains take four main vows: ahiṃsā (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (not stealing), nd aparigraha (non-possessiveness)

I feel a bit possessive about my pants and jackets and shirts and shoes and socks and a couple of devices...
otherwise I could be a jain

i have started doing less substances like buster brown

it's really nice

I'm really happy about it

drugs worked in moderation but it has to be very low amount to be good


that's the biggest problem, that it increases because of desire and ego

and habit

it ruins one's health, be healthy, as healthy as possible


two stragedies, increasing work time with fields and laying in flowers every season

they have to stay

if you care about it etc. and lay in the flowers every ... (?)

you know starting to draw more things like that

making music is great

practice makes perfect

the more one does it the better one gets and the better it gets

not doing drugs and making art working good work is also good little things adding up

it is about perfecting one's life with it

zen

buddha

caring about it

Yes, yes! RGV reminds me of Wisteria, clingy and brilliant, & Sudly resembles buttercups reflecting the sun, and Laughingdog a crimson clover, packed with nitrogen; I heartily agree that you could benefit by laying in the flowers at every opportunity.

The practice of virtues is a funny one I think. It's not an easy question to answer how seriously virtue should be taken. And then there's the problem about what value does it have if I am just practicing virtues out of greed and lust for god, permanence, pleasure. I was just listening to David Foster Wallace's essay about the ethics behind broiling lobsters the other day, I though it was excellent, definitely food for thought.

I am also reminded of david hockney, he was a great lover of smoking. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7984039/Art-icon-David-Hockney-82-says-smoking-act-defiance.html

So for that matter was Blaise Cendrars and I'm sure a great many others who were full with "le joie de vivre".

Personally I puff my vape all day and I like the odd cigarette once in a while, especially when I'm out and about. I think tobacco has opened up some great conversations and times to me that otherwise might have not been. It's good to relax and generally nobody dies a dignified death anyway, some nasty shits probably gonna get you in the end, tis the way of things. I dislike alcohol more, it makes you real stupid if you overdo it, I'll take a good mg of clonezapam and a few cigarettes over that any day.

I'd like to be an Echinacea please. Or a nice patch of Comfrey. Probably the Comfrey, they look like chillsome little fellas.
