“Humour allows us to see that ultimately things don't make sense. The only thing that truly makes sense is letting go of anything we continue to hold on to. Our ego-mind and emotions are a dramatic illusion. Of course, we all feel that they're real: my drama, your drama, our confrontations. We create these elaborate scenarios and then react to them. But there is nothing really happening outside our mind! This is karma's cosmic joke. You can laugh about the irony of this, or you can stick with your scenario. It's your choice.” FeelsMindRealChoicesCoursesEmotionLaughingHumourDramaLetting GoEgoLaughterHappeningsJokesIllusionUltimateSticksKarmaMake SenseIronyDramaticAllowingCosmicHolding OnScenariosConfrontationReacting Author:Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche
“Advertisers like that because they want you to feel their product isn't normal - this perfume isn't normal, this set of lingerie isn't normal. The irony is that they are appealing to normal people to buy the product because they want them to identify with an exotic life that they don't lead.” PeopleWantFeelsProductsNormalAdvertisingIronyPerfumeExoticAdvertisersLingerie Author:Cary Cooper
