Who is the confuses MAN who ordered Roast chicken?

[Guest guest]

I was just reading todays menu at the LWI Restaurant

Looks to me like LTW has served up a steaming plate of horse crap

And that has tossed it in LTW's face.

What a stinky mess?

And, I don't see a problem with that

" Unless you are craving vegtables when they are served, your work is not done "

" Unless you are craving vegtables when they are served, your work is

not done "

*****I don't agree with this. I am reminded of Schopenhauer's comment

which has tested valid in my experience:

" A man can do what he wants but not want what he wants. "

We crave what we crave -- we don't choose what we crave.

That which we crave arrives for us, preformed, wrapped, all prepared.

This was a sticking point for me early on in my " education " of the

language of BK (about three years ago), and I'll share with you how it

was resolved.

I was confused by the " loving what is served " scenario posed in LWI,

and I raised the issue here on this list. An " enlightening " dialogue

ensued. Several people supplied input (amongst them I recall Steve D.

and lovetheworkofbk who I believe, at that point, went by the name

zenbear??).

Arising out of those dialogues the notion of " Loving What Is " is now

understood to mean, more accurately, ACCEPTING what is. That

Acceptance -- when it happens -- provides the realization of " the

peace that passeth understanding. " That peace is always here, just

not necessarily visible.

We crave what we crave, right

SO what is the roll of doing the work?

Are you a fatalic person?

If you think that you want something you don't have (chiken)

You can question your thought, right?

Or you are not the one who does the work either?

Dear Andy,

For me, this is the splitting of hairs and the arguing of semantics?

I read Tami's post and to me it says " Loving What Is " , and you read

it and get something different. Simply a matter of perception and

what can we really know for sure?

Love, steve D.

**or, i would say it this way ~ which is my understanding of this

scenario in LWI: i have ordered prime rib, vegetables are served.

i love that this has happened...and it doesnt prevent me from

pointing out to the waiter that i ordered prime rib and would like

to be served that...is it possible? lets see what happens!

*****Perhaps one craves doing The Work? :-))) Seriously, though, the

role of doing The Work is doing the Work. If you want a story about

it, ask someone.

Are you a fatalic person?

*****What is this type of person?

If you think that you want something you don't have (chiken)

You can question your thought, right?

****IF.........IF.....the thought to question (to do The Work),

arises, yes, one might question the thought. It is a potential outcome.

Or you are not the one who does the work either?

*****I'll let your practice answer that one.

Do you have a better answer????????

----->Please clarify, or expand on, what you mean when you say that

you " love that [you were served a dish that you didn't desire]. "

I'm curious about the use of the word " love. " In my lexicon, the use

of the word " love " points towards " liking or desiring

enthusiastically " (source: Dictionary.com).

** yes, that's an accurate definition.

If I'm desiring prime rib, and vegetables are served, that does not

enthusiastically match the desire present, so the reaction will

probably not be one of " love. " (I'll probably be pissed off,

actually, if past experience is any guide! Hahaha!!!.....certainly

there will be disappointment, seeing as I am a person who orders

something that is desired.)

** well, unless you believe a story that that's not what should happen... it's

fascinating!

** I thought I wanted prime rib, and not getting it is even BETTER!

** When I don't get what I think I want, and it hurts, I can see what is left.

** And if there's nothing left... Oh God.

** Love,

**
