In reply to the discussion: Jumping on the Whataboutism Bandwagon [View all]sanatanadharma
(4,074 posts)Generally speaking, I (many years mostly lurking here), ask what about the problem of egotism?
For what do I act, speak (also action) and defend?
Do I for ego or other me, go into words, action and self-justification?
Who gains from a sub-chain of 'you-no you' whataboutism wanderings of names?
Who is asking the question? Who is the I behind the eyes; consciousness and observant of this changing lifetime?
What is the conscious-knower, the constant "I "watching the comings and goings of the inconstant me (*) and mine(*)?
Fill in the * blanks with your own experience of one's self seeing the changing being (kid-adult), and the over-time changing knowledge-interest-desires of the doer we all call I; who similarly asks what about the silly and sad stuff stored as mine until it is tossed as no-longer me?
As a result of my religion, I have no need to convince, nor answer, nor even return to logged-in status. No one need respond to this ego.
Discuss, disgust, disabuse, as you desire. Wring out my wrong, my rant has run out.
