Car payments for decades of one’s life are not the way to go.

Eh, I read the little parable when I was a teenager or something, and that is essentially what led me down the path I followed. Figured it might be helpful to others.
the problem with using buddhist koans in the current year is that the main users of them today are andrew tate and his cadre.
Well… fuck those guys. I’m gonna keep using my parable. There are nazi punks. I’m not gonna stop listening to punk music just because some nazis like it.
Also, that wasnt a koan, btw. Koans are paradoxical riddles.
while i do appreciate the “why should i change, he’s the one who sucks”, you gotta think about the optics at least some of the time. if you have to explain it every time, how many people do you think left before you had the chance because of first impressions? people who have had enough bad experiences to not want to take the risk?
koans can also be fables, ending on a vagueness designed to be meditated upon in order to learn a lesson.
