I actually enjoy your comment. I think it's great to note that understanding is internal only and to brag about knowledge and / or wisdom is simply foolish and will only land you in a world of confusion.

Those who seek power will get such. Too bad they have no internal power of will, peace and compassion.

if you feel that you have enlightened superiority over everyone else, you clearly don't

:D

^ With an avatar as cute as his, he must be making a point on the topic of what we like to call "superiority".

[Apostacious]

Yeah? Who cares. With a body like mine, I don't even need to try.

This is interesting. Is there as a scale of enlightenment? (a luxometer?), and do there exist arbiters of enlightenment. If neither of the above exists then how can we ever know who is more enlightened than whom??

A wiseman who considers himself a fool is wise indeed
While a fool who considers himself a wiseman is a fool for that very reason.
