But seriously, I sometimes wonder if "they" could make it sound
any worse if they tried.
Here's a few "enlightenment ads" that come to mind:
Chop wood = NOTHING WHATSOEVER changes. Don't bother. Waste of
time. You'll just be disappointed after all that hardship when you
get there ... again ...
Kundalini rising = Are YOU ready NOW!! to risk INSTANT
INSANITY...????
Samadhi - NEW! after 40 years of deprivation you get - ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING!!!
Christians = OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME!!! You too, might be lucky
enough to be thrown to lions, want to nail yourself to crosses or
flagellate yourself ENDLESSLY in a barren cell for the rest of
your sexless, joyless life!
Wonder if this group can add to the collection?
It's a bloody miracle that anyone is still even trying ...
