A blank slate

edited October 2011 in General Banter
Sometimes I wish I could just start over fresh, with a blank slate, without all these stupid basies, opinions, and mind-crap that weighs me down.

Ignorance is bliss I guess :)

Anybody know of anywhere that sells those memory-whipe lasers they use on Men In Black?

LOL

    We get a blank slate. Birth and death, ya'know (or death and birth). ;) Whatever this "stuff" that we are now has been or done in the countless eons before our living memory, we have no clue. At least that isn't weighing us down. Whatever beings are born in the future out of this same stuff, they get a blank slate too.

    I don't know of any mind-wipe lasers... currently. :D

    Every moment is a blank slate on which we choose to write. If you doubt it, try finding your thoughts and beliefs and emotions -- whether nifty or awful -- when you sneeze.

    Do you - can you always - choose to stop writing, @genkaku

    if you started over with a blank slate, theoretically, you'd probably just fill it up with crap again since you'd lose the idea you are currently clinging to of the negative crap that is bogging you down... :)

    Perhaps not, but you can follow the wisdom of the bumper sticker that advises, "Don't believe everything you think."

    But I create those lies, genkaku.

    Thankyou for answering.

    And, without playing Buddhist games, who is the one who creates this "I?"

    I hope I am not misquoting Lama Chime, but he said something to the effect of "Bad choices in the past are simply opportunities to learn, to do better next time".
