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.



  • 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.
