Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists?


Anyone care to discuss this? How do you think of yourself in reference to your urge/itch/compulsion to upgrade your system?

If you find this topic silly or pointless or offensive, why not post in another thread that interests you more?

I like sometimes to listen sound which dont come from my speakers...

And i like to think of some thoughts which dont come from my brain....

I think i am a perfectionist who let perfection down, and a buddhist converted to christianity by a reincarnated ego...

I think only one sound exist, it is from a gong which no hammer has touched yet....Or perhaps the sound is not in the same universe than my own ears....

I think i am an epicurean who like to fast and a consumer who rejoice to buy no more....

I am a riddle who read itself loud.....

The only person i wanted to be banned of this universe is myself, but by myself....

Like hands erasing themselves and drawing themselves at the same times....

What is more real than an illusion?
@millercarbon, as much as I admire your “Music is one of these physical manifestations of this primordial, impersonal self” turn of phrase, may I say that—as a card carrying Buddhist for decades—one of the fundamental tenets of Buddhism s that there is no such thing, now or ever, any self, certainly not primordial.
Please no flames. An observation made tongue in cheek. 😇

Regarding how I think about upgrading my system: I do it in a Buddhist way—how much temporary happiness will it bring, how long will it be, and is there something else  that will bring me longer happiness?  Since by definition in Buddhist thought no external thing or person can bring permanent happiness,

That’s enough for one day. My brain is hurting. 
Your brain? But there is no self. There is no you to hang onto, all clinging to life is an illusory hand grasping at smoke. Maybe your brain hurts because you are attached. But a Buddha cannot be stuck. He cannot be phased. He always flows. Just as water always flows.

Duhka comes from krishna. You suffer because you cling to the world. You don’t realize that the world is anitya and anatman.

So then try if you can not to grasp.

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
One of the more hilarious examples of mid-witted silliness ever. And on this site that is truly saying something. I would be angry, but the thought of someone so small makes me sad for them.
MC:
OP here.
I appreciate your sharing your point of view on this thread the same as I appreciate all the point of views that have been offered, but, at the risk of riling you up, I would ask you to try to be civil when you feel triggered or upset by what others post.
i’m guessing that much like the poster that you responded negatively to, you don’t like that I am responding negatively to you, but I’m trying my best to do it in a kind way, and I think that makes a difference.If we are not careful, we will drive away the faint of heart posters who might have a lot of valuable things to say to us, despite a different thickness of skin compared to others. Perhaps I’m being presumptuous to think that because I am the original poster, I have a right to regulate what people do in a given thread. I apologize if I’m overstepping myself here. I’m certainly not trying to make matters worse, I’m trying to facilitate this thread being something useful to all who participate.
