Why would I want to seek nothingness when I can have everything?
You already described the buddhist or whatever version it was of some nirvana in another thread Egan, the guy's image being detroyed by a demon... It seems rather foolish to pursue that wouldn't you say? I have some matches you can try lighting your hair on fire with to see if you enjoy that.
Amidst your ridicule and your scorn, and throughout all of your sophomoric attempts at asserting superiority, you have proven my points about ignorance and a complete apathy towards learning and understanding other viewpoints outside your own, very narrow perspective. The fact that you begin with ridicule and end with ridicule rather than asking an honest question (or simply saying nothing at all) reinforces this.
If all you've read from that is self-destruction and nothingness then you have successfully misinterpreted the meaning by exactly 100%. Allow me to expound on this a bit.
Most of what we think of as "ourselves" is indeed not our true self. Who I think of as "me" and whom I refer to as "I" is not really me at the core but, rather, an exterior. A shell. A husk. A great deal of our personality traits stem from the physical "vessel" we are contained within. Some people have a tendancy to have a snappy demeanour others are prone to being mellow and chilled out all the time, and all possible variations in between. A lot of times these are based on physical aspects of one's individual human body. What makes anyone think we'd carry all these attributes with us into whatever hereafter (or lack thereof) awaits? At the simplest level, one which a Westerner should be able to grasp, Buddhism and the meditation of no-self is about separating from our fleshly containers and understanding the core self, understanding when you say "I have a headache" who you actually mean by "I". Only an ignorant naysayer who has long ago decided in their own head not to even listen to different ideas would interpret the above as total self-destruction.
Oh but I forgot, the witches are burning but it's different when wives and mothers burn in India, that's holy isn't it? I think 'I'll go eat a steak while you debate
I'm not sure what parallel you're making here with my argument, though it sounds like an attempt at belittling me. As a request for future discussions, could we try and keep the tone more professional and focus on the topic at hand, please? Incidentally, India has a relatively low population of Buddhism and I wasn't aware any wives and mothers were burning there -- or for what reason. India and the predominant views in that country are certainly a far cry from Tibet, at any rate.
I would like to end this with yet another quote. This one, for those of you who may not have heard, is known as the golen rule.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
