Heh heh. +1 for good humor. ;)

But what if you are thinking about why you shouldn't be angry and how society would look down on you in this moment. To just throw that all away and be "angry" instead of "was starting to be angry and then restrained youself" you are not practicing Zen because you are artificially restraining yourself from restraining yourself.

Well, I have no first hand experience of the phenomenon we're talking about ;) But the way I understood it, it's about no longer not seeing reality by being distracted by your own thoughts.

You are all wrong and you are all right - that is Zen.

Wrong.

Frog.

Most people talking about it have no first hand experience either, which is why the talking is mostly useless.

Edit: I include myself in that.

Your comment is tea.
