Buddha orders a pizza: "Make me One with Everything"

I was gifted a book called "Pointing at the Moon" that was filled with these things. Stuff like "A student was asked by a master, "what was you're face before you were born? The student walked to a river, saw his face reflected in the water, and was enlightened." Like wtf is that supposed to mean? Lol.

I didn't even understand the title of the book until I saw this meme.

I say "moral highground" because its easy to sit behind your cpu screen and say people just need to "grow a pair" as if it's just that easy. As if chastizing people at a no kings protest is any more effective than holding a sign at one. Extremely naive and simplistic view of the world if you think its that easy to just overthrow the government with the biggest military industrial complex in the world.

Im assuming youre not American? Why dont you come over and show us how its done then? You make it sound so easy you should be to get it all done in just a few days, a week max.

Would you kill bad people using a death note? Would you kill those that did?

First I would rip out like 50 pages and give them to one of my closest friends to use as he sees fit. I trust him entirely.

Second I would write my own name in the deathnote, that I will die a peaceful death of natural causes at 100 years old. This will prevent anyone from writing my name in a deathnote since I don't know how many others could be out there, and once someone's name is written it cannot be written again.

But how would I use it? Tough question. You kill one dictator and an even worse one takes their place. There will always be wealthy people. Killing the top 1% just means there's new people who are considered the top 1%. It would have to be some type of behavioral conditioning. Where everyone in the world is aware of some kind of super natural killer, but they only kill those who cause consistent and deliberate harm to others. I guess kind of like what Light wanted to do. Except I'd ignore the police entirely. Some dude named "Lind L. Taylor" is talking shit about me on TV? Cool.

Light's biggest weakness was his ego. Too easily goaded into making mistakes. I'm fully aware I would be "giving up my humanity". But instead of thinking about myself as a "God" I'd treat myself more as a "steward". Someone doing out of some kind of obligation. I have the power to affect real change in the world, I'd be remissed if I didn't at least TRY to do something.
