#conceit

[wiirocku]

Philippians 2:3 (NKJV) - Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

We can easily find faults in others, whether it is a gesture or a sentence. However, we don't know what is wrong with ourselves until somebody tells us. Or it is still difficult for us to admit it even when we are told. This is true no matter how insightful we are.

Sakyamuni Buddha taught that however hard we try to view ourselves objectively and correctly, we are unable to do so because of the "seven conceits".

There are 108 blind passions in all, but of those 108, there are six that trouble and torment us in particular. One of these is conceit.

Buddhism categorizes our conceit into seven types, called the seven conceits:

1. Conceit

2. Greater conceit

3. Excessive conceit

4. Obstinate conceit

5. Grandiose conceit

6. Humble conceit

7. Evil conceit

"Customer Service"

.

I know I'm good at what I do.

Better than most,

and probably you.

.

Yet my mouth i keep shut

I let my eyes wander.

I have my aspirations

so far off yonder.  

.

I laugh at your jokes

I listen to your nonsense.

I hear you complain

and at the end of the day 

I get paid.

.

Is it salary, enough?

.

My hands get dirtier,

yet my pockets are as thin 

as yesterday's existence.

The belief that we can manage the earth and improve on nature is probably the ultimate expression of human conceit, but it has deep roots in the past and is almost universal.

Keyboard arragement

Red fox (Vulpes vulpes) [photo: Jonn Leffmann] When the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, what next? Quizzically orchestrated by vexed jazz-folk composer Wagner – his mojo favours quite waxed zips – lo! an alphabetically arranged fanfare! Banjo, didgeridoo, harmonica, kazoo, pipa, quena, vuvuzela, whistle, xylophone build a wavering muzak from just quiet to an expert cacophony. © C A…

Self Doubt

Alternate title: What Would Tuvok Do? I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic lately. I have noticed that a lot of my own behaviors are driven by self-doubt, and this leads to assumptions or choices that have no basis in reality. One might say, it’s all in my head. The origins of this self-doubt are not that important. I have my theories, but it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that…

You should know that when you talk about yourself, you will always be bragging. When you talk about yourself, no matter how you say it, you can't help bragging. When successful people write their autobiographies or talk about their experiences in lectures, no matter how humble or modest they are, they are still bragging. Sakyamuni Buddha taught that however hard we try to view ourselves objectively and correctly, we are unable to do so because of the seven conceits. There are 108 blind passions in all, but of those 108, there are six that trouble and torment us in particular. One of these is conceit.

Buddhism categorises our conceit into seven types, called the seven conceits:

1. Conceit 2. Greater conceit 3. Excessive conceit 4. Obstinate conceit 5. Grandiose conceit 6. Humble conceit 7. Evil conceit If we’re convinced that we know ourselves best and that we can view ourselves objectively, then that clearly shows conceit—and that we don’t understand the seven conceits at all.

Sakyamuni Buddha taught that however hard we try to view ourselves objectively and correctly, we are unable to do so because of these seven conceits. So how can we come to know ourselves and obtain true happiness while having these seven conceits? Buddhism provides the answer, so please do keep listening to the teachings.

The Claws Of A Narcissist By Craig Childers

Narcissism is becoming more frequently known

A dysfunctional prefrontal cortex as science has shown

 The self objectivity is absent you see

And they are null and void of any empathy

They exploit and coerce with triangulation

And engage in emotional indoctrination

They have fantasies of unlimited success

While keeping their targets in constant duress

On top of the world in their delusional state

Manipulating others is clearly their fate

They will devalue you amongst your friends

From their relentless spite, there is no end

They expect all praise and admiration

As they indulge in their targets humiliation

They will over idealize with all their intent

With no introspection in a mind well bent

The narcissist does not make any mistakes

And in their exploits there are no brakes

There is no light in the mind of a narcissist

Just arrogance and haughtiness amidst a self serving bliss

They exert circular reasoning and their gas lighting

And straw man fallacy partners with the belittling

They engage word salad in a manipulative tone

And recruit flying monkeys to keep their targets alone

So pompous, entitled, and grandiose,

But that is what the public wants to see

Control is destiny in their insecure mind

To your right and your left, you’ll find like kind

Their charm and charisma will mesmerize all

But failure’s fear can make them fall

And in the prefrontal cortex that science now knows

Are the claws of a narcissist that continue to glow

Do you know the difference between confidence and conceit? The man who knows his enemy and knows himself is confident. The man who knows not his enemy, yet smirks, is merely conceited.

Teashop Universe

I’m made of chamomile some days:

Where I feel only tranquility

Relaxed and content with life-

For souls are cups of tea.

Red ginger for bite; that is-

The delectable spice of the angry

Making our righteousness:

For souls of cups of tea.

Other days I’m lemon ginseng green-

Verdant, vibrant vitality

Happy and strong, untouchable

For souls are cups of tea.

Some are bitter, refusing sugar

Yet to be sweetened with the honey-

Love and care- that many crave:

For souls of cups of tea.

Many a leaf, many a spice

Many an herb make me, me

Complex flavors make us all:

For souls of cups of tea.
