REMOTE CONTROLS...AIR CONDITIONERS...HAIR STYLIST:do these kind of things make us LAZY or BLESSED?

In 1960, when Metrecal came out, it occurred to me that this is the first culture in history that has been required to produce a non-nutritional food. We're eating too much and moving too little.REMOTE CONTROLS...AIR CONDITIONERS...HAIR STYLIST:do these kind of things make us LAZY or BLESSED?
Nothing is either good or bad. All things are as they are. It is both our use of such (i.e., how we employ them, why we employ them, how will using them effect ones self as well as others, what will the impact to the environment be, etc.) and ones understading of ones actions that will have bearing upon the outcome (i.e., karma, consequences, etc.)


One must be controling something if one is using a remote control. It is also implied that one is at a distance from what one is controlling. Why is one trying to control something?


Another question that must be asked of one's self might be is the use of such taking one out of a natural environment and, thereby, away from the reality of the moment in which one lives?


Remote controls and air conditioners use some source of power so as to be enabled to operate. Does the development and creation of the power needed to operate them help or harm one's self, others, the enviornment?


No one is separate from all others, nor from the very universe itself. Each is a part of all others. As such, one's practices must be based in mindful awareness, kindness and compassion so as to attempt to cause as little harm as possible in keeping with the circumstances of the present moment one is in.


Hair stylist? Keeping one's self clean is a good thing for one's self and can have a positive effct on others. Hair can be fun to style and change, if one's genetics will allow this. (This one is balding, so this one's style choices are becoming limited, smile.) Important questions may arise though regarding one's hair. Is one attatched to one's hair? Attatchment, along with desires effect one's ego and ego, representing the illusion of self, along with one's desires and attatchments cause the suffering that all beings experience in this life (and in any subsequent lives). This is why monks and nuns shave their heads. What are the products one uses on one's hair? What are they made from? How does the making of such effect one's self, others and the enviornment? What will be the consequences of manufacturing these products, selling these products (Are false promises used to lead people to want them? Does wanting them correspond to desires and attatchments?, etc.) and using these products.


Smile. MIndfulness, awareness, kindness. Practice, practice, practice. Each one must live in the present moment, mindful of the past, realizing there is a possibility of a future while being in the present.

What makes us lazy is cars, tv's, supermarkets, bars, restaurants
It depends on the person or situation.TV remotes are convenient if you don't feel like getting up to change channels.But,they are a necessity,if a person is bedridden.And AC`s are necessary to people with breathing problems or other health issues.Personally,I'm stingy when it comes to the electric bill so I try to avoid using it.Now, hair stylists are a necessity in my book for the simple reason that I can and have destroyed my hair trying to trim or be creative with it.(Thank God for hats).
Remote controls are necessary because you cannot perform all functions on your television by the 6 or 7 buttons on the front. Air conditioning makes it possible to do things in the heat...I mean seriously...sitting on your couch panting in lethargy from the 100 degree weather in your 3rd floor apartment? How can you get anything done in that weather without air conditioning. Hair stylist makes you lazy?? Honey....If I were to try to cut my hair on my own...
remote controls-lazy air conditioners and hair stylists-blessed





i wouldnt use my remotes if the dvd player or tv had all the controls on it, but nowadays most stuff can't even be operated without the remotes. or you can only do the most basic play/ stop/ pause stuff.

Acs, hair stylists: no. the remote: hell yeah! i remember the days when we had 2 get off our behinds %26amp; turn the dials on the tv 2 change the channels... of course, we had about 10 channels back then....
