: assinity,

: The enlightened mind is there underneath the
: weeds.

: Yes, and that is why I cultivate. To get rid
: of the weeds. Or at least to keep them from
: taking over. I try not to become anal about
: something without becoming anal about it.
: Moderation in all things, including
: moderation.

: Personally, I do not ever want to get so
: enlightened that shit no longer stinks. I
: like being able to tell sugar from vinegar.
: With that said, life is bitter/sweet. So I
: think your point is sound, just maybe find a
: better way of stating it if you want others
: to understand where you are coming from.

: The smell of shit adds to my enjoyment of
: the smell of roses. Short measures long. But
: I still don't want to live next door to a
: sewage treatment plant. I would rather get
: used to the smell of a rose than to the
: smell of shit. I have preferences. As does
: the Way.

Its not that it no longer stinks its just an acceptance of it, no prejudiced reaction, I dont gag when I shit. Why do I gag when others shit?
The Way would have a preference for everything in creation, would it not. Your way may not.
