Once, there was a maiden…
…who struck an iron wall until it shattered her hand.
She did not stop, though cracks spread through her bones.
She did not stop, though blood sprayed her eyes.
She did not stop, until she shattered the wall.
“Survival is fury,” she said.
~The Scrupture of the One-Handed Maiden (Resistance)
Glory to one who has gone through the fire of trauma and loss and stands outside the wheel and in acceptance finds liberation. It is a constant battle. *salutes*
The true enlightenment (look at the lotus below her foot) is the choice TO suffer, rather than to sterilise oneself from suffering. This is contrary to the Buddhist tradition, but I chose suffering as well after a year of trying to cleanse myself of clinging and suffering.
Ah, I see. The real message of KSBD was promoting hedonism all along.
