"I look at religion as a zero sum game.
If I can do some good to make up for all the bad...I could live with that."
Nirvana
In Buddhism, a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism.
"So heaven is this really large park... and depending on how your numbers were...
i.e. Good 99% / Bad 1%, now they get the best seats. Concession stands, restrooms...all the perks...
Whereas my zero sum balance game gets me in the park, but way way way in the back. Think of the next town over from Woodstock in 1969.
Nothing but grass, a few trees, a stream and a very very very large outhouse
Buy hey... I'm in the park."
What have you atoned for today?
