There is no one alive that is more you-er than you.
Desires are stronger than magnetic fields of suns in solar systems. Believe it. You have great power even when you just be. You must learn to bridle those rockets of desire, when you do everyone benefits. Follow me through the looking glass and way beyond at: rileyonfilm.com
The next time you reach for Ibuprofen for your mild headache remember this aphorism:
Wait a while and think of the less fortunate before taking Ibuprofen when you have a mild headache. In waiting, you foster the path of enlightenment through the practice of compassion.
Mild pain should be tolerated for a time as it gives us 3D empathy and compassion for those on the planet who live in pain 24/7.
Empathy and compassion for ourselves, furthermore, should precede compassion for others because we need more self-love that nurtures compassion for all beings on the path to Buddhist enlightenment. What’s all this in an even shorter aphorism?
I’m fine, I’ll wait.
Enjoy your day.
Namaste,
Damien
