An Idea

Why Bodhisattva?
whats the secret to such a path?
test it, just a simple idea
Help 150 other people around you, take it slow, take your time, see what happens to you, and to those around you. See if you notice a change.

I have this weird idea, its been kicking around in me for a while.

When you help someone else,
you help yourself....

Just a simple idea based off of, I'm real, you are real. I can effect you, you can effect me, so we exist together.

    The idea is not weird.
    It is the fundamental basis of Metta and karuna.
    it's a premise that has existed since the Buddha told us about it.
    Nothing new....
    I think, if I may say so, you think about things far too much.
    your sense of desperation and urgency is the sign of a troubled and extremely noisy mind.
    your posts, while I am certain are well-intentioned, simply read as incoherent ramblings and border on the hysterical.

    you need to calm down, let things flow, and let things be.
    Things are, as they are, because that's just the way they are.
    Whether Yellowstone Park explodes before some maniac extinguishes life on this planet with an atomic bomb, is debatable.
    Frankly, it's not important, because in one way or another, on one day or another, in some time or another, your life will end, my life will end, and that will be something inevitable.
    so chill....
    Relax and unwind that tight spring of yours.

    New idea or not, I'm happy that you're so pumped to help people! In fact, your happiness just jumped off the screen and onto me...thank you :)

    I like contagious good moods

    I dig your enthusiasm! Even though your idea isn't really a new idea, it's still great that you came to it on your own. Now, test it out, and let us know about your experience. I look forward to hearing about it :)
