Jesus taught that you should hate your parents, your family and your own life:
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."
Luke 14:26

it is simple honesty, clarity, seeing the world for what it is - seeing attachments for what they are - seeing what "love" means on planet earth - must turn away, repulsed, making one's highest goal to conquer its traps

Thank you. Your tweets are exquisite & refined. You seem to be of a nondualist/advaita background. I love Ramana Maharshi. He was also an antinatalist, of which most people do not discuss. AN is taboo everywhere.

Thank you - yes - Advaita Vedanta - I did not know that about Ramana Maharshi !

Interesting about the Satiyya. I think there were some ancient Greeks who also mourned birth. I'm on the road right now. Don't have my laptop. When I get home I'll report back to you on that.

am also traveling today-(plane) I'm not sure very many would allow themselves to believe it's that simple bc there's always this hope of something hidden-the reality is stark + clear but we're so indoctrinated otherwise-we search for meaning endlessly rather than just face it
