Which is better: to have fun with fungi or to have Idiocy with ideology, to have wars because of words, to have tomorrow's misdeeds out of yesterday's miscreeds?

Which is better: to have fun with fungi or to have Idiocy wi

Summary

This quote juxtaposes the enjoyment of nature and the senselessness of engaging in ideological conflicts and perpetuating the mistakes of the past. It highlights the stark contrast between finding joy and curiosity in the natural world, represented by "having fun with fungi," versus the destructive consequences of ignorance and rigid belief systems ("idiocy with ideology"). It prompts reflection on the choices we make and the significance of prioritizing peace, wisdom, and learning from our mistakes rather than perpetuating conflicts and repeating past misdeeds.

If you think about it seriously, all the questions about the soul and the immortality of the soul and paradise and hell are at bottom only a way of seeing this very simple fact: that every action of ours is passed on to others according to its value, of good or evil, it passes from father to son, from one generation to the next, in a perpetual movement.
