Perhaps invisibility is to take a holiday in nothingness?

It's like in that movie Angus, George C. Scott talks about Superman, how he isn't brave. Superman isn't brave because he's invincible. If you want nothing, what's the point of living?

if someone "has no want for _______," does that mean that they have _______ in surplus and are satiated or that they have no _______, but are not frustrated by their lack of _______ because they have no desire for _______?
...does this phrase mean simultaneously itself and its opposite re: have/have-not?

a man that has everything has everything to lose and a man who temporarily feels that he wants nothing might temporarily feel invincinble.

so it's like a video game, then? you get the invincibility, you grab some arbitrary item that you no longer want but that you wrote down on a wishlist before you became invincible by renouncing desire for material possesions and worldly pleasures, and then when the invincibilty wears off you have what you want...? is that the idea behind becoming a monk?

A man who desires nothing ain't no man.

Perhaps desires, like emotions, are animal artifacts, so those who desire really haven't reached that higher kharmic level of 'human'. |
