If it is not possible to become enlightened, why are we spending so much time on this work?

For a long time I had a laptop set up that toggled between Linux and Windows. I had the Arch distro.

Are you guys taking issue with the idea that someone could become enlightened?

The operating system is great, it is the apps that are the problem.

Linux works if you are in tech or programming. But still the apps are not that great.

Do you guys really use Linux?

I love you all.

This is ridiculous. What is this?

Don't let people neg you too much.

Seems like everyone does this in their own way.

Very reactive to any kind of disagreement.

But we can use this emotional problem card against anyone on the path. This happens all the time.

When we feel excited and passionate I feel like it is held against us sometimes.

What is reactivity?

Is this a belief or something you have realized in yourself?

All of us have high reactivity.

I would start with what is an enlightened person? Then, if we get that far. The next question is this hang-up of how to interpret emotion.

Forgiveness and renewal are underrated. We are all growing.

Yes. Whatever he says about his experiences in language.
