Re: what to you is
serenity.
Have you ever met one of thise people who just have that total look of peace in their eyes, the look that just says they are comfortable with the universe and wish the same for all people?
wise-ness.
not in the "wise guy" sense...but in the knowledge sense. Things that I should have realized in my 20s that I didnt realize till into my 30's, like "everyones truth is different...show 10 people the same movie and there will be 10 different and all true interpretations of it".
Re: what to you is
1)FREEDOM:
from desires
from attachments
to express your beliefs without being judged
to be yourself.
2)UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Re: what to you is
hmmmm....
if you want unconditional love, then you are definitely NOT free from desires nor from attachments! If unconditional love is what you want, then have a child or get a pet. Simple. Either of these will love you with all your heart no matter what you may ever do or not do.
The freedom to express yourself without judgement, well thats a tough one. No matter what it is you are expressing freely, there will always and forever be those who agree and those who do not. And if ALL are free to express themselves, well then we all get tied into all kinds of knots dont we?
This question is a tougher one than it seems on the surface yeah?

the questioner asked "what to u is hard to come by?" I expressed my opinion based on that. It does not mean that these are the things I want. It also does not mean that I have not experienced what I have mentioned. thanx for the uncalled for advice but I do know what unconditional love is. Dont need to get a pet for that!
Re: what to you is
everyone, you are all so sagacious in what you shared as your perspectives on this.
indeed, freedom from desires, from attachments, from a want to express your beliefs without being judged, be ourselves, unconditional love, serenity, & wise-ness is all truly hard to come by, absolutely, but we can keep trying to do well in getting closer to them all.
thanks.
