Xain, you keep going back to these Buddhist sites as if deep down inside you truly feel that they have something of value to teach you. But then you seem to rush to judgement about what they’re trying to tell you. Take it slowly. Really read what the author is saying. Sit still for a moment and really think about the words. What he’s saying is that, especially in the modern world we are easily distracted by things, by our devices and gadgets, by the news of what’s happening in the world, by our friends, by our jobs, by our own fantasies of what kind of life we SHOULD be having, and in consequence our minds are so busy that we don’t take time to just BE. How often do people just sit still and experience what’s going on? That is what he means by a genuine life.That's actually not it. What he is saying is that much of what we think is life is just us trying to satisfy some kind of negative emotion. That life is really this non conceptual silence. It's not what you think. That we have to let go our desires, and wants, and thoughts, and to me that just sounds like being a rock. He's saying that our pursuits are motivated by sating negative emotions. Your interpretation is mistaken.
I don’t follow this because I believe it has value (which by the way they argue is imaginary) I follow it because it is supposedly the correct view and what to do.
