A fatty may decide she deserves a cookie because she did some exercise earlier.Originally posted by Kidicious
It's the correct answer either way. There is good about us, except that we like ourselves. You don't deserve things to be true just because you want them to be. A child deserves a cookie, for example, because the parents says they do. If there is no parent "deserve" has no meaning.
I'd be inclined to answer the question with "Five pounds of flax!".It doesn't make you unhappy if you answer the question once. After all it's obvious. Why do I deserve to be happy? I don't, but who cares I will anyway. If you simply say I can't answer it you are the one fooling yourself.
There's clearly a difference between answering the question and producing a rational answer.Comment

But "deserves" has no meaning. Fatty is just making up her own rules as she goes along. That's different from an order.Originally posted by Blake

Where did you get the idea that you have to either deserve or not deserve happiness?I'd be inclined to answer the question with "Five pounds of flax!".

Okay. Lets try this.
Take a bunch of, oh I don't know, colored blocks or something.
Arrange them so that they form lines of same color.
You perceive order.
Now take all the blocks and rattle them around in a bag and tip them out.
You perceive disorder.
All you need for order is perception.
For Nibbana, you don't even need perception.Comment

No. Buddhism isn't what succeeds far far far far far far far beyond science in terms of enjoyment of life, rather some individual Buddhists succeed to this degree. Buddhisms success at delivering enjoyment or whatever reward depends, as in all other religions, on the individual who practices it.Originally posted by Blake
It succeeds pragmatically. The point of science is to learn something useful, Buddhism succeeds in this regard. It succeeds far far far far far far far beyond science, in terms of improving enjoyment of life.Comment
