The monks are cheating in the Buddhist game escaping attachments the easy way hiding in solitude avoiding temptations and relations.
How can I escape my attachments when they’re all up in my face, all over the place?
If I just detach and let go hovering above in the helicopter view then why should I care?
How can I motivate, and not just deflate?
If I actually care, then I actually care and want what’s there.
Hard work requires strong motivation
but wait
what am I doing now sitting, alone, on the couch typing this silly poem writing these silly papers and code just for me?
Aren’t I just another monk worshipping my own junk escaping all those people trying to control me working for money only indirectly?
I’m so detached and free and yet I work so hard I forget to pee.
I guess I’m attached to this life and the eternal questions I’m always chasing.
These attachments seem enlightened but really its all the same.
We all want control and understanding in a crazy, wanton world.
But by letting go we get more flow less control is more if you’re balanced and truly free to just let it be.
