I got blackout drunk at my friends wedding and broke a family base worth about $300. I bought them a nice afghan rug that was about 400 on sale as a housewarming gift to make up for it. However, after putting it down in my own apartment, I really wanted to get myself one as well. The room felt so much cozier and tied together with a rug there.
But I also don't want to be selfish. I'm trying to stay on the path of Buddhism but it is difficult. I really want a rug now. Should I buy myself one as well? I guess I could get a cheaper one. Pic related, it's the rug.
Fuck it keep the rug man. Buy them another one later.

I already gave it to them.
>>17327104
Well then buy another one. If you like it you like it, there's nothing wrong with that.
Buddhism is stupid. Buy the fucking rug.
I can't stand looking at this ugly carpet. I'm getting the rug. Thanks for the advice anons
>I'm trying to stay on the path of Buddhism but it is difficult
And?
Buy yourself a fucking rug. As long as you don't lose your mind over it and consider it the ultimate status symbol and buy 90 more of them, it doesn't matter.
You don't have to live an ascetic life far away in the mountains sleeping on a stray mat and eating nothing but rice porridge to follow the tenets of buddhism you weirdo

If it makes it any easier it is a nice fucking rug.

Uh, I would stop getting black out drunk first.
A guy wants a rug.
Best thread on /adv/.
>>17327157
Already did that. And I quit being a pothead too.
Anyways, here's the one I got. I'm not 100% on the colour yet, but the room definitely needed a rug.

that looks badass, man
i suggest taking a healthy dose of lsd and mdma and just stare and touch the rug, specially now that its new and clean
its life changing

>path of Buddhism
>>17327346
Actually the colour is quite nice. Really ties the room together. There's a black tv, tv stand, and black speakers on the left and it blends nicely with the leather sofa.

Thought about it, but LSD is really hard on me these days. I think I just really need a nice healthy break from drugs for a bit. I've been over doing them for years
>>17327365
You know what? I'm gonna take maybe a really small dose and enjoy the rug.
>>17327111
Checked. Buddhism isn't stupid, it's just reality. It's a science really.
Did you go out your way to tell em it was worth 100 more dollars too you sack of shit
>>17327382
thats the spirit
the patterns just call for psychedelia
godspeed!

I don't tell people the price of gifts I give them, that's a basic rule. I tried to give him cash once but he refused, but I made this a housewarming gift that I know they needed so it was easy for them to accept it.

What this anon said
Buddhism is about a lack of attachment, not about depriving yourself of material goods.
>>17327044
>Buddhism
>On 4chan
This doesn't compute.
>>17327394
>Buddhism is reality
You got a lot to learn lad
>>17327430
I'm also Buddhist and browse 4chan, not sure how common it is though. I enjoy posting on /adv/ because if my advice can help ease the suffering of someone else even a little bit, then it's worthwhile.
>>17327435
I wouldn't say Buddhism is reality, moreso realism. Accepting our place in the universe and that what makes our lives worthwhile and fufilling is not our attachment to the transient things and phenomena around us.
>>17327467
We have a place in the universe?
>>17327467
Well said. As for posting on here, it's kind of you to do so. I can't really get myself to do it for long because I know most of the problems on here will be taken care of on their own as people grow up. It just feels like a waste of time to open someone's eyes for them when time will do that on its own.
