So much for your midyear resolution. Did you put a buck in the jar?

I think we all needed me to cuss, if only for a minute. And does the piece of shit not deserve it?

If you don't do it on occasion, your intestines will explode, so it is a good idea.

And yes. Good call.

I don't claim to be an expert on Zen. However, when studying this interesting philosophy, I thought the teachings of Zen were the search for enlightement.
I was also taught to find enlightenment one must discover nothingness......

I just worked a double shift, and I'm two scotches deep into myself, so I'm going to attempt to reply to this (after translating, first):

The essence of both Eastern and Western philosophies is an attempt to draw the two "opposites" of a duality closer together and to recognize that each part is intricately linked to the other. As a sidenote, with respect to senseless rambling, I must ask why you refuse to acknowledge that your penis is significantly smaller than mine.

Now, my personal understanding of Eastern thought on duality is not actually changing the two components, but simply recognizing them as being two sides of the same coin and that neither may exist without the other. Just as light could not exist without being defined at its borders by darkness, so darkness would cease to be were it not intruded upon occasionally by light. Also, dualities do not exist in conflict (common in western thought, things such as "good vs evil"), but in harmony with each other. One must look at the symbolism of the yin/yang, with each side not pulling against the other, but flowing into it. This deceptively simple little piece of artwork, in fact, almost perfectly illustrates eastern thoughts on the nature of duality and/or opposites.

Also, Mystic Rythm (sic), I have to ask for my own reasons where you are from and what language (if any) do you speak natively?

I Hv Company and laughing we r 2 laughinng much.

DUALITY AND ITS INDVIDUALISM ARE THE THINGS WITH BOUNDARIES MINGLING INTO EACH OTHER. BUT THEY DO HAVE BOUNDARIES. IT IS JUST SIMPLY HARD TO EXPLAIN LIKE THE DUAL NATURE OF LIGHT IN QUANTUM PHYSICS.
AND I AM NOT GOING 2 PAY U A PENNY FOR UR TRANSLATIONS. ANYWAY THANX 4 THE IDEA U CONVEY IS SAME.

ACTUALLY THE ILLUSION OF DUALISM IS SO PROFOUND THAT IT IS MUCH MORE THAN ILLUSION ITSELF. THATS ALL. THE ZEN IS CHILD OF BUDDHISM AND TAOISM BOTH OF WHICH ARE NOT MEANINGFUL YET CONCEAL ALL.

illusion of self
