we are all fools

we all have feet of clay…we all are fools…we are human and suffer

Animals do the same. Lets say you were born with god like abilities and knowledge but, no one is there that is your equal or your superior. Can you be evolved truly without having generations behind you showing you what not to do? We screw up so we can learn. We don’t just suffer, have you not ever smiled, laughed, played, hugged, trust, love, believe, feel good, enjoyed a food, cherished a gift? I could go on but you get the idea, we could not truly be happy without knowing its counterpart.

My feet are not clay, they appear to be made of the same stuff my Elbows are.

You might want to see a foot doctor and get your feet checked out. Maybe wear diabetic shoes or get better arch support, I dunno.

Sometimes I get trench foot, closest I can get to the clay feet feeling.

I dunno, your body has some of the same trace minerals found in clay, So your feet could be related to clay in a clayish kinda way. Sorta.

what do you think of the buddha thing----life is suffering…

We’re allll sensitive peopleeeeeee…

Sooooo much to giiiIIIvveeeeeee…

And some of us foolishly suffer more than others; commiting feats of humanity who’s foundation and effects are looser than clay.

It strikes me as a miserable way to aproach your own growth.

Life is a banquet! I pity the fools that go hungry- Russalind Russell.

Buddha claimed one can be free of suffering if one gives up attachments. Oops, there goes the personal and the cumulative ego.

That means I give up my family and you turn Thai loose.
Sounds like a bad idea. Sounds like a coward’s way out too. I do not like it.

Kriswest, People do not have the idgredients of clay in them, Clay has the ingredients of people in it, because the ground eats people. They say its a circle of life, but I don’t see too many round trips being offered at funerals when the coffin is lowered away.

That is because they no longer use bells at graves :slight_smile:

Dammit all! I need people! Usta didn’t think I did.

finally something serious and useful…i always needed people but i hid out…

I am picky about people now,

With maturity comes discretion.

Yea, thats a shame too, could have saved me some heartaches.

we are all fools…there is so much ignorance…

Foolish is not ignorance just as ignorance is not foolish. A child may put their finger in a flame out of ignorance it does not make them foolish.
