  • bert: ernie, i keep thinking about that dumb thing i said to maria last week. and then i start thinking about all the OTHER dumb things i've ever said

    ernie: ooh, you're doing the thing! the suffering thing

    bert: the WHAT thing?

    ernie: see, bert, there's pain - that's when you stub your toe. but then there's suffering - that's when you stub your toe and spend three hours mad at the coffee table, the floor, gravity and yourself for having feet

    bert: i KNEW feet were a mistake

    ernie: the buddha called it the second arrow, bert! first arrow is the ouch. second arrow is all the stories you tell yourself ABOUT the ouch, bert

    bert: so the dumb thing i said was arrow one

    ernie: and the three a.m. replay marathon is arrow two! you're just shooting yourself over and over, bert. with your brain

    bert: how do i stop?

    ernie: you notice you're holding the bow

    bert: that's it?

    ernie: that's a lot, bert! most people don't even know they're armed

    bert: so i just put down the bow?

    ernie: or at least stop aiming at yourself. the coffee table's not coming after you. maria probably forgot. and your feet are doing their best

    bert: my feet ARE doing their best

    @Taweret

    "Just try to remember, there ARE no feet..."

    Had I the money, I'd pay you a whole salary for breaking down these concepts in an accessible way. Also this reminds me of the Foxes in Love I just sent to you.

    Pain leads to suffering. Suffering leads to anger. And anger leads to the dark side.

    @brouhaha @Taweret ...the dark side hides the coffee table.

    @Taweret I absolutely love these.

    @ShaulaEvans @brouhaha @Taweret Well, now how are we going to find the cookies they keep talking about?

  • @brouhaha @Taweret ...the dark side hides the coffee table.

    @ShaulaEvans @Taweret
    Great, now I'll bark my shin on the damn thing even more often.
