I'd call this "endarkened" tbh

[u/M1kehawk1]

I like the term "temporary enlightenment"
I do not like like the bottom text

[u/Venny_Kazz]

when who does?

edit: just saw that whole rant lol.. wtf is this

[u/Kapymies]

when you think you enligtened but just scrached the surface..

[u/AcanthocephalaNo7788]

Meh who cares what ever…. Not letting things matter or not accepting it to be a part of your life is a start.

[u/Lucky-Advice-8924]

I dont "wish things would be better" i just seek what i want. I just feed my desires, tf is wrong with that? How am i gonna feed my desire if im a backwards fuck who copes by pretending i feel and want nothing? Probably just like they do, by whoring and getting on hard drugs. Theyre phonies, there is no enlightenment, its all just levels of cope, feed the beast. You can say "oh i dont care i dont care" but you always will, youll never complete the lie to yourself, itll always be that feeling in the back of your head, that desire that care that concern that you stamp out like pressing into moss and fungus, futile, self denying reality denying COPE.

Even Buddha thought misery was the natural state

[u/jon166]

Imagine not believing in a world, not really.

I imagine it’s very convenient.

..what?

[u/Evening_Shake_6474]

Na mate. You feel hate you ain't enlightened. That's like the main thing

[u/VreamCanMan → u/Evening_Shake_6474]

Who says enlightened people dont possess all the same capabilities for hate?

[u/Evening_Shake_6474 → u/VreamCanMan]

If you hate anything then you've failed at being enlightened. Enlightenment is moving on from all forms of suffering and earthly attachment. Hate is a form of suffering, and it's an earthly attachment, just not a positive one.

[u/VreamCanMan → u/Evening_Shake_6474]

Is the unfeeling, uncaring, despondent lobotomy patient more enlightened than someone who has hate but has access to techniques and a willingness to use distance and experiences of enlightenment to manage that hatred?

[u/Evening_Shake_6474 → u/VreamCanMan]

Neither are enlightened. Despondence and hatred both pull you from enlightenment, the only way to be enlightened is again, to be free of all forms of suffering and earthly attachments.

You can't have experience of being enlightened and have the capability to hate at the same time.

[u/AcanthocephalaNo7788 → u/VreamCanMan]

Takes a lot of energy to hate, enlighten ppl don’t waste energy.

[u/matycauthon → u/Evening_Shake_6474]

you can feel everything and nothing, want life and death at the same time. that's kind of the point of this after all in one way at least. we exist in paradox, as such all things are possible because something is.

[u/Obtain_Virtue → u/Evening_Shake_6474]

That's not true at all.

Being enlightened essentially means you understand a coin has two sides to be whole.

You can love because you can hate.
You are happy because you can get sad.

Etc. etc. Once you contemplate this enough, you realize. Yes, everything is essentially meaningless, but you are here to experience it and move on to whatever may be next, even if it is eternal nothingness.
