@Silentsam7532 Ever read Winnie the Pooh?
-
@Silentsam7532 haha, remember that scene where he starts running because he's frustrated, and then, after running across the entire country and developing a herd of followers, he's just like "I'm pretty tired.. Guess I'll go home now"
-
@SHIBBYiPANDA Ah, very good example.
-
@Silentsam7532 Yes, Homer Simpson is a good example of the man of character. Another good one is Forest Gump.

@juicejunky All of his talks make you really look at things in a different light. I just love his talks and especially how he blends them into Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, etc. I learn so much from him. But even more I learn to think differently.

@moedemama It's art. I remembering hearing the late great Beat Poet Allan Ginsburg. In his later years he spoke his poetry and had someone next to him making music. My nephew calls it the origin of rap (lol).
The music adds to lot of listeners. If you don't like the music then ignore it and learn how to focus on his talk. According to Watts that is medication- focus and concentration.
Thanks for the music. I personally enjoy the attempt to blend a talk with music. That's creative and good.

@selvmordspilot so what?

@Silentsam7532 : Except he's a hedonist. Surely he drinks and eats more than just enough.

Alan Watts: Tao of Philosophy- Man and Natureby simo0327,933 views
“The whole notion of something of life, any moment or any event, being useful, that is to say, serving the end of some future event in life, is to a Taoist, absurd. Because nothing is useful at all—The universe is viewed as purposeless and useless through and through, because its a game…The joy is that things have no purpose and the future is not important…The ideal useless man (hutch back and deformed) he has found the purpose of life.” –Alan Watts
(that is beauti. thanks Alan)

It would seem to me that the man of character is Homer Simpson.
