Kusala "Rage Faces"
You may have seen this internet "meme:" (be advised, it is somewhat coarse)
"Rage Faces"
Apparently, our lymbic system readily relates to facial expressions. This has been exploited on the internets by the usually vulgar "rage face" genre of cartoons.
WHAT IF -- we as upasakas (laypeople) were to develop KUSALA (wholesome, skilful, advatageous) facial expressions to add to the mix?
Here is a brainstorm list of potential emotions:
Hiri
Ottapa
Gratitude
"with his teeth clenched and his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth — he should beat down, constrain, and crush his mind with his awareness."
remorse
kusala citta
etc.
What do you think?
