@RepNancyMace Damn thats gotta be crazy being a pedo rapist and having to scramble to mount any kind of defense for yourself, maybe try resigning and not raping kids as a big strong start
The Japanese have a word ‘yugen,' which has no English equivalent whatsoever. Yugen is in a way digging change.
It’s described poetically, you have the feeling of yugen when you see out in the distant water some ships hidden behind a far-off island. You have the feeling of yugen when you watch wild geese suddenly seen and then lost in the clouds. You have the feeling of yugen when you look across Mt. Tamalpais, and you’ve never been to the other side, and you see the sky beyond.
You don’t go over there to look and see what’s on the other side, that wouldn’t be yugen. You let the other side be the other side, and it invokes something in your imagination, but you don’t attempt to define it to pin it down. So in the same way, the coming and going of things in the world is marvelous. They go. Where do they go?
Don’t answer, because that would spoil the mystery. They vanish into the mystery. But if you try to persue them, you destroy yugen.
Nintendo lawyers in a pickle. On the one hand, this is an unacceptable portrayal of the character and IP. On the other hand, this track is an absolute banger.
Twenty five years ago today, The Iron Giant was released. Easily the best-animated film Warner Bros has ever put out, this film soars thanks to its great themes, amazing animation, well-written characters, and also one of the emotionally moving finales ever. A masterpiece.
The modern Zen communities, both Soto and Rinzai, attach the highest importance to meditation or “sitting Zen” (za-zen). It may seem both strange and unreasonable that strong and intelligent men should simply sit still for hours on end. The Western mentality feels that such things are not only unnatural but a great waste of valuable time, however useful as a discipline for inculcating patience and fortitude. Although the West has its own contemplative tradition in the Catholic Church, the life of “sitting and looking” has lost its appeal, for no religion is valued which does not “improve the world,” and it is hard to see how the world can be improved by keeping still. Yet it should be obvious that action without wisdom, without clear awareness of the world as it really is, can never improve anything. Furthermore, as muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone, it could be argued that those who sit quietly and do nothing are making one of the best possible contributions to a world in turmoil.
There is, indeed, nothing unnatural in long periods of quiet sitting. Cats do it; even dogs and other more nervous animals do it. So-called primitive peoples do it—American Indians, and peasants of almost all nations. The art is most difficult for those who have developed the sensitive intellect to such a point that they cannot help making predictions about the future, and so must be kept in a constant whirl of activity to forestall them. But it would seem that to be incapable of sitting and watching with the mind completely at rest is to be incapable of experiencing the world in which we live to the full. For one does not know the world simply in thinking about it and doing about it. One must first experience it more directly, and prolong the experience without jumping to conclusions.
