more Buddhism musings on the pot
as I come to the close of Chodron's "Comfortable with Uncertainty" one takeaway is;
life is full of loss, pain, sickness, threat. But life isn't ABOUT loss, pain, sickness, threat (or anything else for that matter). And if I spend all my time trying to fight off, mollify or avoid that loss, pain, sickness, and threat - that's not really the same as joy. That's granting these things way more importance than simply things that happen sometimes.

And the answer might be yes, and possibly the childhood answer I have been engineered to fail (this WAS true as a kid, it might not be true here) but fuck this is uncomfortable.
... okay, to be fair Rogue One wasn't really about Space Wizard Samurai, but there WAS Space Wuxia.
Also, do vans in the Star Wars universe have murals of Jedi?
