The Buddhist Analogy of the Eightfold Path
- Right View: My views are my business…. And I shall judge whether those are right or wrong.
- Right Intention: Perspectives matter…. Revolution may be the right intention for A, but B has the right to differ
- Right Speech: I never gave a damn. People who love me do not mind. And as for people who don’t love me, I’ve got nothing to give them but for the effects of my flatulence
- Right Action: I do what I feel is right. But other people might feel differently. My flatulence shall greet them as well
- Right Livelihood: I’m studying to be a lawyer. That explains.
- Right Effort: What the hell is that? Go ask Buddha. Stop bugging me.
- Right Mindfulness: Doesn’t exist. For me at least. My shrink told me not to bother. Hence I don’t
- Right Concentration: I’ve been suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder since I was 14.
P.S. Buddha didn’t say how to define right and wrong. He spoke of the conscience (Atmadeepa Bhava : Light the Lamp of Thy Conscience, as he said to one of his disciples on his deathbed. But I wasn’t there. Hence I plead ignorance)…..
Maybe he meant those pre-existing norms, mores, customs and such other didactic bla bla s that shape the human conscience, but the times have changed. Anyway, that’s enough I guess
P.P.S. One reason as for why I’m posting this crap:
Samadrita has threatened me with dire consequences if I don’t tag her in a post. And going by her recent blog entries, she’s getting freakier every day, and she might just end up actualizing her threat! Here I tag you, dearest friend. Have mercy on this meek soul. Amen.

If you don't play by my rules then why should I? :X
This is not the post you're supposed to be making.If you didn't wanna accept the tag you needn't have made any post for that matter.
AND THIS IS NOT HOW A TAG WORKS.
*makes a mental note to never tag Atindriyo again*
