          It’s true that Zen Masters rejected all religions, and that Gautama was an illiterate Prince who did a bunch of dumb stuff before promising others he could bring them eternal happiness…

          But the whole “friendo. 🫥” thing?

          Why y’all gotta patronize?

      Gluttony and materialism, I’d say. We all could have rich and wonderful lives. A few percent of us want more. And they try to make the rest think that that’s the right thing to do for everyone, even if that’s technically impossible.

      I’m pretty sure that’s the root of all evil. You are welcome.
