No feelings?

If you notice in TBL, the Dude appears cool (emotionally) toward people who are bullshitters but responds to empathetically when he thinks someone is in distress.

Take the millionaire Jeffrey Lebowski. The Dude's very cool and even rude to him during their second meeting until the millionaire Lebowski starts sobbing. Then the Dude shows deep concern for him.

Who knows? Maybe the millionaire Lebowski's trying to scam the Dude there, but the Dude opts for risking compassion anyway.

I think the purpose of any religion (and especially Dudeism) is to help us be more deeply human and therefore more humane people. That's why we reject the whole rat race thing and choose to abide...because as a wiser fella than myself once said, even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

You've got a good point, he did call him a human paraquat, not a fucking paraquat, not a cheap paraquat bastard, or a coupla other synonyms...
The Dude treats humans like humans, am I wrong?

As a wiser fella than myself once said, Some humans aint human.  Some people aint kind.

I still jerk off manually.
Sorry. Lost my train of thought.

Hi there White heart, this is especially for you and your ennui.

I KNOW you feel and I know that you have compassion and understanding and enjoyment and hope and wonderment and love in abundance and excitement and a thousand other wonderfull feelings and I also know that in your beautiful meditations you have seen the futility of all mankinds aspirations and dreams because we are so small and the universe is so vast.

I KNOW this because you have a child. So no matter how bad life gets, no matter how down you feel one glance at your creation tells you that everything you did to bring that being into life was the right choice.

Love Light and Peace Lady.
