Well fine, you called my bluff. I'm not always emotionless. In fact, I've been happy recently. Does it matter? I prefer zen, but that don't make it easy to maintain.
I'll admit I let my rage get the best of me, and I hit someone. Quite recently as well. Being bipolar, with severe depression, I am self aware that I look down and sad a lot, and I have long hair (not emo fringe, but still longish), but people insist on calling me emo and other such derogatory terms. One day, when I thought someone dear to me hated my guts, and someone did that, I just lost it, knocked him to the ground and ran, crying off campus.
Actually Zen isn't exactly that. Sort of. It's the way of looking at the world through a different eye in order to come to new conclusions. A badass beatdown seems a bit straight forward of an answer instead of clever one which is what I was implying. Ok you're right. It's a hard thing to define really. Edit: I've seen Prince of Egypt. You are not alone. Weird movie.
So, seeking truth through asking of seemingly nonsensical questions. I just left out the other part because Pratchett. Also, one can be clever their whole life, and then be straighforward as a change of pace. I doubt that's the case here though.
Oh, I get it. Zen as in emotionless, constant meditation, not the religion. I thought I told y'all I'm atheist?
No, the rock is more serious. While a fish can live in luxury, a rock has a solemn duty of eroding. Making the rock more serious than the fish.
Zen as a state is not something that is a thing. People THINK it is, but it's a misnomer. What you're thinking of is a static state of being, and ultimately leads to no change. And you kinda missed the point of the derp there...
