I just came across something that reminds me of a few theological theories which I've been taught some time back. First up, is a theory in Buddhism stating that ignorance is a source of suffering. I wont elaborate further and lets leave that as it is for now. Another theory, a Christian one, says that knowledge is sin. Remember the Adam and Eve saga? Yea, thats where the theory comes from...
So, from these two little theory, considering that both theories are true and considering that knowledge is the opposite of ignorance and vice versa, what I can contemplate from these is that, in order not to suffer, we have to sin ourselves and attain knowledge. Hmmmm... not really something which teachers want you to learn, isn't it? I mean, choose between sinning and suffering... I think almost everyone will opt for sinning, right? Who on Earth want to be born to suffer from cradle to grave?
Anyway, I think I'll sit on the fence and let nature take its course. Whether I sin or suffer, so be it. I can't help it, right? Its more or less a lose-lose situation...
Oh and I think I need a new pair of slippers.
... when I know I need a pair of slippers, I'm sinning (my wallet) cause I'll have to go and buy a new pair, but I'll be happy cause I have a new pair of slippers. And if I don't, I'll suffer cause my slippers will fall apart and I'll have to walk bare footed (and maybe a nail will get stuck on my toe or something) ... Yea, some nice little theory there @@"
