Glad to see you decided to edit your original response.

What I say can only be labeled as unreal within in the context of a theory which states that reality must be divided into objective and subjective things. But such a theory is (by its own definition) unreal. The theory exists only in people's heads! You know it is unreal, but you defend it as if it were real. Curious.

As my poem so describes:


Once there was a theorist that made a bold claim,
that he knew of the match that started our flame.

Reveal would he not on how it was first struck,
it so happened to be that is was just our luck.

Despite the wisdom of his sutra’s of reason,
he ended a life at the heels of its treason.

Though some have come in pretend of his title,
entertain would they not my question so vital.

If Samsara is eternal and ceaseless with life,
Then where is the proof of the dividing knife?

If an escape we can make in a place we are stuck,
then what of the entrance that was just our luck?

Nice try Malinson, but the question was (and still is) when are you going to take responsibility for your own destiny, stop being a victim and blaming other for you problems following your split with the Hokkekō and Soka Gakkai?

Do you understand, or are you going to keep trolling?
