Maybe I became philosophical, which is actually a challenge for me to articulate. So let me continue to articulate again, and let me know if this helps with understanding. You wrote
What is important is what we do on earth, not who we worship.
I was thinking about this word, "important," and what we do on earth. But what about those who fail? How can they be helped so they're also doing important things too? I was thinking this through as I wrote.
So those who are contributing to the earth with what they are doing. I was thinking about those people whose actions aren't functional, and I analyzed this: how can they continue their ways so they don't have to give up their ways?
And I remember reading somewhere online that if a person takes the same thing they're doing that's dysfunctional and turns it a little in another direction in another situation, it'll be extremely useful, functional, and contributing then.
I was thinking about them too—those who are dysfunctional and not contributing—as you were writing about what is important: what we do on earth.
So I was thinking, "What about those who do things on earth, but they're not contributing and they're dysfunctional?" Is it that what they do isn't important, or is it that they aren't trained how to use it, so it can still contribute?
If what we do is important, how does one do it so that they can feel the importance of it? Even though you wrote that what is important is what we do versus worship, what exactly is worship? How do people stop worshiping if they find themselves worshiping anything? What is idol worship compared to other types of worship?
I am a philosophical Buddhist
What are the distinctions and parallels between philosophical and archaeological thoughts?
Are there any archeologists with Buddhist minds, is it possible to combine archeologists and philosophers together, or does this ever clash, and how come?
Do Buddhists ever worship, or do they try not to worship, how do they manage never worship, what does that behavior appear like as they do important things?
I like Krishna as a God of love and loyalty.
What is love compared to unconditional love, and what is loyalty—is this subjective or objective?
What happens if one person thinks they're loyal while the other person claims they're not loyal? What happens to the word "loyal" then?
