Bro really just hated on Buddhism, that’s kinda racist
Also if you actually took the time to learn the Buddhist principle of non-attachment you’d learn it’s basic common sense.
“The Buddhist concept of non-attachment is a constructive way to approach relationships. Here, attachment refers to an attempt to control things that you can’t control. When you try to grasp or control something outside of yourself, this causes suffering for yourself and the other person.”
I admit that I tend to be a very truthful person, and that I sometimes tend to throw completely unmotivated hatred at random. However, I actually don’t disagree with all the principles of Buddhist philosophy, I just think that a literal interpretation of them is not good, because I’m a very passionate person who thinks that the end justifies the means, to a certain extent. In any case, racism has nothing to do with my partial distaste towards Buddhism, because Buddhism is not a race, Buddhism is just a philosophy. Just as I don’t like Positivism, I don’t like Buddhism either. This has nothing to do with the racial affiliation of those who created these philosophies. Positivism was created by Westerners, Buddhism was created in India, and regardless of the racial affiliation of their creators, I don’t like both philosophies very much.
If you want, we can start a discussion about the validity of the Buddhist philosophy, but since it’s off topic in regards to the Prequel Trilogy, I don’t think this is the best place to do that. So maybe we can open a thread in the real life section of the forum. I just wanted to make it clear that racism has nothing to do with this.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but the whole idea of Jedi compassion where they “love everybody in a non-attached way” isn’t that great. It goes against human nature. If you try to love everybody in the world equally, you end up with a very shallow form of love.
This, this! Very much this!
