Contentment

Contentment

If one looks at our hill mynah, it has inborn cheerfulness even on a rainy day.

 

What it means is we have feel good factors or hormones including dopamine and serotonin built into our nervous system which we have turned off habitually by

1. Prejudice
2. Presumption
3. and by inborn errors made by parents in primitive years of childhood development by placing unrealistic expectations from their kith and kin.

This has morphed into the Coronsvirus paranoia currently, and people have gone into a deep core of discontentment.

 

Unfortunately, our Buddhist monks exacerbate this tendency by highlighting the fourth of the four Agati, the BAYA into the forefront.

 

This is just to get the vehicle the temple needs in addition to the sumptuous Dhana, which are antithesis to Buddha's teaching and expectation and not aspiration (which is the disease of politicians).

 

I now say our monks go to Nirvana in a Pajero very very slowly due to the Pajero's built in inertia.

 

One of my friends who enjoys a good daily drink made me to be aware of basically three types who need hi5s.

1. Drug Addicts
    
2. Alcoholic
    
3. Meditator with Jhana craze
    
   All three of these types are habitually trying to upgrade dopamine and serotine status.
   The evolution has a safety valve called melatonin status which controls the diurnal rhythm and downgrade these highs, so the meditator has to meditate daily, drinker has his tot and the addict goes for a deep inhale ever so often.
   Now I know the bee the busybody has more hormones in its nectar and the bee honey is non addictive but soothing.
   The honey bird spends all his day sucking honey and the flower flows the honey in spurts.
    
   This enticement and engagement trick of nature keep the evolutionary wheels turning round.
    
   There is a honey bird for every flower.
   The beauty of nature.
   I think chocolates coming from a bean has more feel good factors than anything else and the gift or dowry of Aztecs. It is better than a tedious meditation course, now selling very badly in America with Coronavirus paranoia and election politics.
