Set your zen to "yes"
What can be learned?
All posts are created equal.
All posters are created equal.
All badges disappear.
All followers disappear.
All following disappears.
My profile disappears.
My identity disappears.
Insom just wrote me
Her wheel is already full!
But my spring
My eternal spring remains.
Sigh.
Set your zen to "no"
And like baseball
Everything is measured.
Am I loved?
Exactly how much?
Were my words read?
Were my words appreciated?
Am I still loved?
Am I loved enough?
Sigh.The Master stood before the monks for some time in silence. Then he held up a Hubwheel.
"What is this?" he asked.
The monks were wary. His instruction had been harsh during their time at the school. Yet one piped up.
"It's a Hubwheel," he said.
"No!" roared the Master. He hurled the Hubwheel at the monk. It glanced off his forehead with a sound like a billiard ball hitting a bathroom floor. "It is that! Hubwheel is just a word!"
The dazed monk rubbed his head, stared at the two blurred images of the Master and nodded in understanding.
Hahaha I can't wait.
Baseball is zen but for some rare few of us, the stats are zen too. I've lost hours on baseball-reference.com before. You start in like 1912, maybe with Harry Heilmann or Home Run Baker, and you jump from link to link until you're in 1962 and Stan Musial is about to retire, and then maybe you go back aways, because Musial makes you think of the Gashouse Gang, and soon enough you're comparing Dizzy Dean's stats in 1933 to those of his brother -- and it's 4:23 am -- but you're lost in another corner of Ducky Medwick's career, and maybe that reminds you of the time the commissioner made him leave a game for being too incendiary, and then you're reading about Ford Frick or KM Landis or even Bud Selig -- and boom, you're at the modern-day Yankees comparing Jeter's range to Posada's, or Bernie Williams' arm in 1999 to Ichiro's in 2013.
Stats are zen. OBP. Range factor. AVG w/RISP. UZR, wOBA, RC, OPS. Batting effectiveness with two strikes and a runner on third -- home and away. Stats are zen.
Or maybe flag is crazy.
I don't understand//know the concept of Zen. Care to explain?
