Denchik's life

The day before yesterday I was thinking about Buddha leaving his family. Buddhists call it Great Renunciation. Not a very holy thing to do. Defenders say he did come back after a while as the Buddha to show the right way. But we still don’t know if it was the right way or not. I sort out my thoughts about it still.

But the interesting thing is that this story was passed on from Buddhism to Islam through Ibn Babawayh and then to Christianity knowing as the saints Barlaam and Josaphat.

Anyway, where am I going with this? Well, first of all, there are a lot of moral questions here, and secondly, you can see how one culture mixes with another. Even Buddhism and Christianity are intertwined. At the end, I again conclude that religions remain in the realm of academic interest to me. And I am more attracted to philosophy without dogma, or something like Confucianism, where everything is based on a rational view of life.

By the way, Confucianism defeated the existential crisis 2000 years ago, for example, if there is a mess on a table table and you have nothing to do, just clean up the table.

I’m on the train. One dude started talking on the phone, I started to get annoyed, then a woman started talking on the phone, in parallel with the man, I was between two beepers, it seemed to me that nothing could be worse, but the third dude started talking. What surprised me was that the noise of the train, three voices, didn’t stop them from talking. I think I want to use the first class of seating place or buy headphones.

I was talking to an American woman today, and she was unhappy that French people don’t speak English in Paris, on reflection I was unhappy that they don’t speak Russian either. 🤝
