Why the Roast Fest — So Many Flammables (BZ006)

Excuse me but if you litter the landscape with flammable bullshit — it will catch fire with or without my sparky enlightenment overdrive. But hell, if it lands straight middle my road, I might as well flick it burning. Why not.
Mind you. This is not the Willy Wonka chocolate factory stuffing your mouth with sweets only. We have the salties, the bitters, the sours and the astringents — and of course the burns — ensuring your well-rounded digestion of existence.
Do not be a cotton candy person craving for those smooth feels only. Be a real self-immolating phoenix — scorch your inner garbage, rise brighter and clearer from the ashes. We need perpetual renewal — and renewal needs catalytic agents.

So what's with the roast fest? Were you like a barbecue chef in a past lifetime? None of this sounds very spiritual, smooth, pleasant, etc. What's wrong with you?
Now look my friend. As you can maybe tell at this point, I am not here to polish myself into a saintly stereotype or some such. Just rolling on in life, looking at whatever it is that lands on my path, and calling it as I see it after due reflection. That's all.
Now the fact is, in today's landscape, there are a hell of a lot of flammables on the road. All sorts of bullshit being passed around, and cursed as I am with a sparky enlightenment of sorts, things do set ablaze. There is a grade of burn happening in natural reflection of what I encounter. Some things just were made to be burned. Others were made to be flushed down the drain and yet some were made to be composted. That's the way it goes — and there is no reason not to.
Now that doesn't seem to correlate with what the Buddha taught about right speech. It should be true, but it should also be timely and pleasant. Now the Buddha, he certainly wasn't an advocate of categorical political correctness. Hush, hush, say nothing that might upset anyone. Hell, the things he said were very consequential, and a lot of them carry a bitter taste even to our day, among those who have a hard time digesting the truth of what is, facing the reality that they are distorting.
This isn't the Willy Wonka chocolate factory, sweets for everyone and nothing else. No, we have the sour, we have the salt, and we have the bitter, astringent. The full spectrum of flavors required for good digestion of existence. Some things will be pleasant and soothing in the moment, and others will be pleasant and soothing once they pass through your digestive process.
If you're triggered, it means we have discovered something in you that can be triggered — look into it. Don't be a cotton candy doll. Be a phoenix — burn yourself and rise from the ashes brighter and clearer than ever before. A perpetual process of self-refinement, requiring a certain burn for our refinement. When you speak out of your arse — then I am ever the arsonist for you. Ignition of cognition, that's the name of the game. It leads to your awakening, enlightenment.
