I mean, Buddha was a spoiled princelet who had an overreaction to discovering that not everyone shared his privilege. In many ways he’s the archetype of I’m 14 and this is deep.
- mandmandam 3y agoI've heard enlightenment called many things, but "an overreaction" is a new one. > In many ways he’s the archetype of I’m 14 and this is deep. He was 29 when he set off on his quest, and in his mid 30s when he attained enlightenment. Enlightenment, btw, is just about the polar opposite of fake or performatory 'depth'.
- antonvs 3y ago"Enlightenment" is a word you've been programmed to respond to in a certain way, but it doesn't represent anything particularly meaningful. It's a religious concept like "clear" in Scientology. It's used as a carrot for gullible religious folk. > He was 29 You're being very literal-minded.
