It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly
Worldly attachments are attributed by visits of the mind to the same objects of desire, again, and again. This happens due to a lack of awareness and wholesome experience of the objects or events. Through intense living one can get a full understanding of the events and become a witness of it and then become free from the outcome of the event, whether positive or negative. For example, the innocence of a child makes him so inquisitive that he tries to understand the inside of a toy, as to what makes it work, he breaks it, with intense involvement of both body and mind. Finally, he loses interest in the toy, finding nothing interesting inside, and moves areas to another toy.
This is exactly the behaviour of the human mind, curiosity persists till the mind becomes fully aware of the event or object. Awareness leads to decrease in thoughts for the object, and subsequently total detachment from it. Today, if we want to live a blissful life we have to practice the art of living intensely.
