the_world_is_a_mirror perfectly_chaotic For half of my life I loathed my reflection. The other I loved it. For today I can simply look at it and smile with a simple content. Recently I actually said something to my brother, not sure what exactly, that actually stuck. He began to think for himself and came to many of the same conclusions I have in the past, but expressed them in different words. Afterwards, he became so excited that at one point said he was happier than he could ever remember being before, and said it was because of whatever it was I must have said, and began to describe his new-found views. Naturally, I became very curious about what he meant and began to ask him questions. Shortly after, he became convinced that I did not understand him and kept going on and on becoming more convinced by the moment. I asked if he was sure that he was right about what he was saying and he said no. So I asked him why it was he kept trying to tell me about it to which he replied that it was because he wanted to give me what he had found. Then I asked, "So do you believe yourself to be more enlightened than me?" During the ensuing silence we both came to realize we hold onto our own views much too tightly; I had been doing the same thing to a good friend recently. After this he apologized to me and i apologized to my friend because we were wrong and knew it. May all who suffer find their own truth and end suffering. 110714 what's it to you? who go blather from
