I think that their flight from and hatred of technology is self-defeating. The Buddha rests quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer of the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower. To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha--which is to demean oneself.

I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. They told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, I was deprived. Then they told me underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged. I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.

Member Quotes About Defeating

If we are always surrounded by good people, we may fail drastically! Bad people create a balance. They are the true teachers. Defeating us, they teach us to practise hard and fight back. Cheating us, they teach us to be observant and to react in time. They teach us how to lead. The soul definitely needs goodness around but the brain works better when it has to fight challenges!
