Just Be-ing

“There is another level of ‘being.’ It is called ‘being stoned.’”
The Chemical Buddha believed there were lots of levels of being. And the more awakened you were to those other ways, the more you could put yourself in someone else’s shoes and empathize with their plight. He thought making judgments about someone else's life based on the view from the outside was one of the biggest hurdles people had to overcome before being able to appreciate the total beauty of what was around them. Was he better than some crack whore who sucked dick so she could get high? He thought so until he found himself sucking dick to get the same thing. The view from his knees made him appreciate that he didn’t need money to get high. But then again, maybe the point was lost on him.
Who do you think you’re better than? Who do you think you’re worse than?
How often do you find your judgments about other people to be right? How often do you find that they’re wrong?
