But careful, Mr. Mindful Programmer - if you are becoming more and more mindful and still do bad karma work e.g. for banksters, military or the big brother police state, you will suffer from shizophrenia and become seriously ill very young - you must decide, if you want to do some ill work or have a healthy brain + body.

Though to be fair, there is also a long, more obscure tradition of practice where you dive straight into the shadows, trauma, and these horrible things that we humans can do to each other and to the world. These illnesses comes from attempting to integrate some of this deep stuff ... and then rejecting it ... and you're too far along in your practice to fool yourself for long. But yeah, practice on the cushion is nice. It is also about integrating the insights you've attained with your life when you're not on the cushion. And to have the courage to change your career if you've decided this is no longer the life you want to live.
