Replying to Avatar Brisket

The pointers to Truth are so well known that when you share them with people they usually just shrug. Worse case is that profundity of the realisations you've had, cause you to get so excited that you make other people feel uncomfortable. They will lock you up for your own safety until they're satisfied that you'll be quiet again.

Knowing something & feeling the Truth of that knowledge are universes apart. You have the tools within to feel these Truths & Wyou already have the knowledge.

It's better to be easily dismissed & ridiculed than taken seriously & forcibly silenced.

If you do get locked up, you may have to pretend to go back to sleep. Try not to scare the normies too hard next time.

Yes, you should weigh your power against that of the enemy, project the consequence of your action or inaction, and choose wisely.

If you have the power of Trump, Bukele, Putin or Tate brothers (money, connections, guns, info and whatever else it is that they have), you may also stick a middle finger up in your enemy's face.

But only if in the grand scheme of things it is the most loving kindness approach there is.

Surprisingly, sometimes it actually is. Nothing is what it seems...

I just thought my previous comment did not come out quite right. Big politics and influencing the entire humanity is a complex thing. Because of very long very complicated and wrong history. It is very much an exception where the middle finger and interfering with the matters of others could be the right approach.

In all other cases, especially in anything of a smaller scale, the right approach is to live alone in the woods/oceans - nature, and not engage in anything except when somebody comes to ask for an advice. And even then, put yourelf in the shoes of the requestor, and see what kind of an advice he is capable to interpret right. That is pretty much what Buddha did.
