The Nature of Enlightenment

Hansel says:
hmmm well i had a bet going with the buddha, but i guess i could make a deal with the devil too
beelzebub is a chill guy

Andre says:
Buddha? What's he good for? I'll tell you figs and englightenment. And enlightement isn't that good.

Hansel says:
oh as if you would know what enlightenment is like haha

Andre says:
All I know is, the more I know, the more things bother me. So being enlightened would mean knowing all and thus being all pissed off. Pissy people are probably englightened.

Hansel says:
which would totally complement the [true] belief that Ignorance is Bliss

Andre says:
Yes.

Hansel says:
wow
so to be truly happy... one must not find enlightenment,
but rather become fully ignorant

Andre says:
But I have a bitter, cynical world view.
Can you think of any stupid person who isn't happy? Or can't be made happy with a shiny distraction?

Hansel says:
it's true man, all my stupidest friends have the most fun, for sure!!
you should hear some of their stories man

Andre says:
Do you have fun when you are drunk?

Hansel says:
i mean they are probably retarded,
but they have fun
and yeah
i always have fun when i'm wasted

Andre says:
And does alcohol make you smarter or dumber?

Hansel says:
let's just say that thinking juice is a misnomer
holy crap
this is it
it all makes sense
man this is like a life changing moment for me
i fully know why i drink
it's because i'm unhappy in real life

Andre says:
Yeah. I should probably write this down...

Hansel says:
WHOA
save this conversation
it's totally off the cuff but i think it's filled with random wisdom
