Your One Sentence to Enlighten Someone
  • Post a sentence, that for whatever reason just came to you. It is something that you considered "profound" at the time, and maybe you have no idea where it came from or why you thought it. It can be silly, funny, interesting or perhaps enlightening. Who cares if it is original, came from your subconscious or you might have read it somewhere. Don't look it up, just post something.

    I have a theory that maybe those thoughts that just come to us, are meant for someone else, or have a purpose that our thinking minds don't understand. There are plenty of stories of people just getting "it" or enlightened by one single thought or sentence. Maybe your sentence is for someone else?

    right. confidence is surrendering to whatever your situation may be. true surrender.

    which is the same as "it is what it is."

    and so it goes... my 3rd fav author... kinda funny i was just listening to this

    The chances, the changes are all yours to make.

    To measure the meaning can make you delay;
    It's time you stop thinkin' and wasting the day.

    I don't have a sentence that would enlighten someone but I came up with this once

    "It's not that there is no answer, it's that there is no question."

    I was really stoned and made fun of myself immediately after patting myself on the back thinking I had some super profound thought. But the thought itself was genuine and I think there's something in it.

  • I decided to get an account after reading everything people are saying about Enlightenment and i had to say something. Enlightenment, as i was told, is something that is never acheived. It is simply something that people work towards for self improvement. Budda never actually said himself that he was enlightened but that he was awake; as he said on his last podcast, it is a path to follow and the person with one eye on the finish doesn't understand the idea.

    This is my favorite, for good or for bad times.
    I usually just say, "It's almost over". The bad times are almost over, the good times are almost over, the pointless times are almost over, and life itself is almost over so get the fuck up and so something that you wanna do.
