Bones is impervious to
physical and emotional pain.

He has attained Nirvana
through the principle
of practice makes perfect.

Thanks Yann,

For being kind enough to comment on one of my poems.

Actually, Bones is very occidental. Some aspects of Buddhism are universally attainable.

It's also a mechanism of self-defense. To learn to be impervious to pain is a very important achievement. It is true power. But I do love emotions that allow us to BE and FEEL deeply, both joy and sadness.

Love,

Thanks dear Margherita,

You've always been very kind to Bones, and he appreciates that.

You might be right on the emotions. However, you'll never get Bones to admit to it.

Love Bobby

this reminded me of something my professor in Philosophy 101 said long ago, 'Practice never makes perfect; practice only makes permanent.' Good luck to Bones...may he prove the prof wrong.

I think perhaps Nirvana and acceptence are one. Bones found the only escape avaiable to him. Smart boy.

Thanks dear Juji,

Many times perfection can be approached through practice.
