For instance, why a man is supposed to love only, and only one, woman? how is this love different from the love between parents and their kids? and siblings? and friends? and strangers !? What makes some people to give/dedicate their life for other people? Would it be the ego sacrificing the body for the sake of its identity!? What does love mean for Enlightened people? To relax:

@Falk I loved your thoughts. I am an Enlightenment beginner, and the more I read about it the more I feel in a race: "Who is gonna be enlightened first?" Enlightenment become just one more item to accomplish in your "successful"-life list.

I am a beginner in this subject I would like to have a better sense of what is Enlightenment (or at least what people think it is). 1) Is Enlightenment a skill? a habit? is it just the way your brain is wired? 2) Can anyone be Enlightened? no matter what age, ethnicity, IQ, EQ, mental condition (e.g. psychopathy), life circumstance, etc.? 3) Can animals be Enlightened? 4) Was Enlightenment invented or discovered? 5) Would an Enlightened person ever hurt other people physically? 6) What would happen if the whole world were Enlightened? 7) Are Enlightened people 100% happy? Do I need Enlightenment to be 100% happy? 8) Do Enlightened people dream? 9) Are Enlightened people vegetarian? 10) Is there any Enlightened person in the media? 11) Would an Enlightened person have a 9-5 job?
