..."It's good to know the dude is takin' er easy for all us sinners". Is it perhaps that simple? To me, that's the import that the Coen brothers had in mind about abiding...
...Just takin' it easy in the Zen-like way the Dude did. Works for me!
The reason google is so good is it doesn't use the same way M$ Word (or the forum here) uses for spell checking which is an heuristic algorithm based on rules preset by programmers, it uses statistics, it shows alternatives then gives you the statistically highest probability.I love it.
For me it's a couple things:- Generally keeping a level head about things- Taking life as it comes, not worrying too much about the 'big picture', or the future or the past.- Knowing when to fold 'em- Enjoying the simple pleasures in life instead of constantly striving for something big and grand- Respecting people's opinions, espcially when I know I can't change 'em- Knowing when to respond to something, and when to just ignore it
I don't know really but to contiune with the quotations: The best of man is like water,Which benefits all things, and does not contend with them,Which flows in places that others disdain,Where it is in harmony with the Way. /Lao Tzu. Then i agree with doing a bit of harm at times is justified. One thing i'm curious about though. Is there a sort of dualistic relationship between the abiding dudeist and the square community?
