RE: LEARN HOW TO WRITE A GOOD GODDAMNED STORY IN 33 MINUTES.

in #ethics5 years ago

Yes, even the story of the Buddha is told in this way. The narratives are, of course, much more compact, since they have to fit the length of a film or book than those that happen to us ordinary mortals.

Some things may actually happen as a mini-episode, where we experience everything at once, while others happen as a journey lasting decades with the elements mentioned above inserted, again detached from everyday life.

Assuming that things never stay as they are, I expect that the elixir will have to be replenished all the time, new dragons are constantly rising, further traumas or conflicts and inner demons appear, sometimes even several times in one day :) - at least for me. Hard to always find a sip of that elixir.

Seldom do we feel as heroic as the heroes, rarely accompanied by spherical or victory music. Even from the mushroom trip we have only sparse memories that hardly stand up to description and remain in the inexplicable with those who cannot explain the inexplicable. I tried here.

What did another astronaut who spent months on the ISS say? "As soon as you get your feet back on solid ground, the usual suspects will be back on you", or something like that.

Or from Zen:

"Before enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water.
After enlightenment: Chopping wood and carrying water." :)

Where the happy ending ends, ordinary life begins again, even for superheroes.

Greetings from Gandalf the White.

Sort:  

"Before enlightenment, chopping wood and carrying water.
After enlightenment: Chopping wood and carrying water." :)

I also like, "one seeking enlightenment is like one riding an ox, in search of an ox".

LOL. Yeah, that's a good one, too.
