we had our own problems with em here in Texas so i shouldn't talk shit.
how it started/how it went

COLLEYVILLE, Texas — This is how insane the emu market was a few years back, just before the Vinson family got into the business of raising flightless birds:

An unhatched chick could fetch up to $4,000. Mature breeders were being insured at more than $50,000 a pair.

Thousands of emus are roaming the Texas countryside, set loose by ranchers unwilling to spend another dime on feed

I thort we was talkin about A.I and anime/manga. /shrugs

BTW DownUnder is just fine thanks. Our king keeps to himself and our kangaroos still hop forwards only.

Emus still cant fly but they can run the pants off a kangaroo.
All is as it should be. :+)

Emus definitely more deadly. They'd prolly give our guys a run for their money.

But the king of shitty sounding animals from Duik’s hometown has to be the koala

Sorry about your constant waking sleep apnea Mr Bear. Maybe try keeping that weight down and you’ll breathe better

Even in doubt, hostility toward the teaching is a mistake. The aggressive mind—always judging, always offended—is already deformed. It cannot discern even the flawed, let alone the profound. Such resentment is not the sign of critical thought; it is the tantrum of an ego that feels endangered.

**On the Dangers of Pride and the Refuge of Humility**

What one studies must not remain words stacked in memory. It must melt into one’s conscience, take shape as attitude, guide action as wind guides flame. Without this integration, the Dharma becomes decoration—a beautiful thing useless in darkness.

Some grasp the teachings and cling to the **literal**, like one mistaking the finger for the moon. They believe they have arrived, and so cease to seek. But such pride is not understanding—it is **conceit** masquerading as clarity. This arrogance poisons the intelligence, blocks the subtler current of insight, and leads the seeker to **reject what is well-taught**. Such rejection is not neutral—it is a fall. The mind, confused and proud, turns **hostile** toward what it cannot digest, and in doing so, separates itself from the light.

This is the silent disaster: a life drifting far from truth because it clung to the first appearance of truth.

Even in doubt, **hostility toward the teaching is a mistake**. The aggressive mind—always judging, always offended—is **already deformed**. It cannot discern even the flawed, let alone the profound. Such resentment is not the sign of critical thought; it is the tantrum of an ego that feels endangered.

Better to pause. Better to admit uncertainty than to mask ignorance in scorn. A simple, open-hearted neutrality—**impartiality without pride or aversion**—is already a virtue. For it keeps the door open to insight.

The Dharma is not for the quick to judge. It is for those who **suspend the ego’s hunger to be right**, and instead let wisdom unfold—not through assertion, but through reverent inquiry.

Let the proud be warned. And let the humble rejoice—for they are already closer to understanding than those who argue loudest.
