Since I couldn't get a clear picture of the Christmas tree frame that hangs outside the house all year and is lit up around the Yule, I decided to take a blurry one and go with the flow.
I didn't design or invent this world that included the economy or the governance, and as I recall amongst the various aphorisms that you shared with me a favourite of mine went "It isn't what the world does and do not do that is the problem, it is what I do and do not do that is MY problem", and just as your little donation button has pointed out a subtle truth that I myself am facing is that even running a zen business or an IT web-shop utility bills have to be paid.
I am liberated in a way through practice, I still suffer as the ego and personality still seems to be there when I even type a basic sentence, the suffering happens right within the liberation and as the mind tried to cajole me every now and then somebody has got to pay - i might mean donate - still somebody has got to pay
