A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Do buddhist monks practice escapism or have they grasped a divine truth about life and the evolution of the soul for a world beyond what we presume to be reality?

They have accepted the existential crisis that is life and realized there is no point, no ultimate goal to work towards that is identical for each person, there is nothing divine - we are all here because we are each lucky enough to exist.
