Kenna James · 1:58 AM

so I had a pretty cool personal cognition yesterday

Blake Ian · 1:59 AM

nice would love to hear about it

Kenna James · 1:59 AM

I tend to be a contrarian whose searching for peace

Kenna James · 2:00 AM

Thus, the result is inner turmoil.

Blake Ian · 2:01 AM

well - by nature we all search for what is not readily available or present right?

Blake Ian · 2:01 AM

Even like in physics

Blake Ian · 2:02 AM

Heat seeks out cold areas

Blake Ian · 2:02 AM

Dense molecules seek space

Kenna James · 2:02 AM

Since Peace means without conflict, and searching requires discovery of unknown, it makes it difficult if not impossible to have both

Blake Ian · 2:02 AM

My opinion, if you are interested

Blake Ian · 2:02 AM

We are all actually seeking the middle

Blake Ian · 2:03 AM

So if you are a contrarian you seek not peace fully

Blake Ian · 2:03 AM

But to move toward peace

Blake Ian · 2:03 AM

Because that is toward the middle, balance

Kenna James · 2:03 AM

I am interested in your opinion of course

Blake Ian · 2:03 AM

It reminds me of one of my favorite Buddhist stories... Wanna hear it??

Blake Ian · 2:04 AM

I am paraphrasing because it's been a while...

Kenna James · 2:04 AM

Yes

Kenna James · 2:04 AM

do tell

Blake Ian · 2:04 AM

A student sits next is master under a tree. One of the men from the village comes and asks the master for his advice with his troubles

Blake Ian · 2:05 AM

The master tells the man that he should not imbibe alcohol and he would find greater happiness

Blake Ian · 2:05 AM

later in the day another man comes from the village also asking for advice with his troubles.

Blake Ian · 2:05 AM

The master advises that he go have a drink!

Blake Ian · 2:06 AM

The student curiously says to the master, you don't seem to have a definite position on alcohol being a good or bad thing

Blake Ian · 2:06 AM

The master says life is a bridge with no railings... When I see someone too far to the left I tell them walk to the right...

Blake Ian · 2:07 AM

when I see someone too far to the right I say move to the left!

Kenna James · 2:07 AM

Great story. Thx for sharing.

Blake Ian · 2:07 AM

So there are many people who are very complacent, not contrarian at all... Seeking conflict!

Blake Ian · 2:08 AM

and you'll both meet in the middle

Blake Ian · 2:08 AM

😊

Kenna James · 2:08 AM

I like your comments at the beginning as well. Seeking not fully Peace.

Blake Ian · 2:08 AM

anyway, love that story. Reminds me we are all on our own journey.

Kenna James · 2:08 AM

Yes.

Blake Ian · 2:09 AM

We are here to help each other; but our journeys are each unique and the prescriptions are different for each of us

Kenna James · 2:09 AM

It is interesting or rather ironic, that my address is Peace Way

Blake Ian · 2:09 AM

hahah!

Blake Ian · 2:09 AM
