You're doing it again, Og. You are assuming that you know that my mind is in prison. You know nothing about my mind. Since you continue to draw false conclusions about my beliefs, and state of mind, allow me to clarify.
Right now I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. I have a peace that is beyond all understanding. I have pure joy all the way deep down inside my very being. I am free to do anything I desire. I am free to think on anything that comes to mind. I am experiencing freedom as never before.
Unlike many people I do have something to compare my current life to. For almost fifteen years I lived as if I was the only one that mattered. My life consisted for one porpose: To please myself. And I tried. I tried to make myself happy with everything that came before me. But I found that the more I tried, the more miserable I was. That, my friend, was prison. Nothing satisfied until I gave myself completely to Christ.
You are may correct in the difference between Buddhists and Christianity. Whereas the Buddhist says "Kill the Budda" Christ says to invite him over, give him a drink of water, and a bite of food. Help him care for his feet. and give him your coat if he is cold. There is joy in helping others. That is where my mind is. |
