RE: Buddha's Insight #1 Who is the Greatest Enemy to Conquer?

in #philosophy8 years ago

Thank you for this post. I think everyone knows inherently that they themselves are their own worst enemy. But, where do you even start when you want to conquer yourself? Through greater awareness? For the typical individual it has always been an easier choice to conquer another rather than themselves. Thank for you the insight. will follow:)

Thank you. I think the first step to overcoming ourselves is to be responsible for everything that happened to us individually. Since we are our own worst enemies, this will help us recognize the damage our enemies cost us when something bad happened as we give in to ourselves. This should motivate us to want to defeat the true enemies.

Self awareness is necessary to recognize what the enemies are planning. Self control prevents the plan from being executed.
