Siddartha Gautama (better know as the Buddha) was literally born a prince and gave up his life of privilege in order to live as a beggar. Sure, he never killed anyone (except his own future life as a king), but he still became a saint. Meanwhile, Jesus may have come from more humble roots but he could have become a king had he chosen to do so.

All I'm saying is Reuters clearly knows where their bread is buttered.

As a side note, I recommend reading a lot of Buddhist writings for everyone!

It's cool how something so old has found its way to being useful in modern clinical psychology.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

I certainly can't disagree there.

Everything changes except people (ok we do but we haven't had much evolutionary time given our reproductive rates since we developed permanent settlements)

The article in question was an opinion piece published by the New York Times. Why are you bringing Reuters into this?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My bad. New York Times, then.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No worries! I was actually wondering if they were connected somehow that I want aware of.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah, probably just a carryover from some other thread (I've been seeing a LOT of them on this topic obvs).

Also I might be slightly drunk if that helps.

Always helps me! I'm getting into some vodka after I get home from work in a few hours. Cheers!
