Why do we love God?

you never truly know yourself if you dont know what your capable of, you only know what you assume you will do. and that is often far from the truth. getting upset over something is always an easy way out, finding a solution by means of right thought and right concentration is the way of the buddha, that means not getting angry at someone who tries to point something out about your self. even if the person is not what you presume as enlightened as you are. because that is not humility or right effort. see the 8 fold path. this is my guide.

I'm confused, others can say more, but I guess this is already your ego who wants less ego.


But as far as I know, you can still watch your "thoughts", I myself can't do it well but I know that mind works like a clock, an independent machine, so by watching it you stay in the now, you think less, and you surely have bad thoughts already sometimes about yourself and others (so you don't need extra difficulty in your life as you suggest) by forgiving them you have less ego.

I suggest you read Eckhart Tolle "The Power of Now" if you didn't already.

Sometimes I think stuff is funny and sometimes I don't... and I find there's nothing to say, because being outside I can see through the glass, but those inside can't see out... it's just the way reflection works.
