Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Why can't all elements be enlightened like argon,helium, krypton, neon and xenon, and all those other inert elements which do not react, do not associate, and remain aloof in their self-sufficiency? The ignorance, the reactivity of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and their like has got us into this samsara mess of an universe. If a body/mind or even a consciousness manages to find enlightenment, how is that to bestow indifference to the chemically ignorant? How is that to end the samsaric chemical dance? Save your next dance for me, jelly beam. See you around the dance floor with your new dress, new shoes, and new 'you.' ) Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my kingdom is a second fl. apt. , but here, I am the king. Although, not the completely absolute ruler, since the queen, sometimes, vetoes my royal edicts with just a queenly smile.
