Our Inner Karen and Chad

The Buddha taught

that the fruit

of mastering

the four bases

of mindfulness

and the seven

enlightenment factors

is two fold:

true knowledge

and liberation.

True knowledge means,

amongst other things,

complete awareness

of the full spectrum

of our human emotions

from the glorious

to the grotesque.

Liberation means

that neither our inner Karen

nor our inner Chad

can ANY longer pull

the metaphoric levers

controlling our choices,

or utterances, or deeds.

Let us conclude

with a simple

call to action
