Enlightenment is illegal. Doing anything that's purposeless or not driven by productivity in society is considered vagrancy or loitering. Being a wandering mendicant is a crime. There is no dharma anymore.
The United States is a barbaric country where wisdom is impossible. I am not wise, I'm just a madman, but the only thing that's sane about me is I know I'm a madman. The dharma is about going against the status quo, but anything that's not part of the status quo is a crime. Homeless itinerancy is a crime, and meditation halls are driven by nothing but money and sex. Existing and taking up space is not allowed in the world today unless you are a slave or you are willing to be evil. I'm speaking nothing but truth right now, but I am breaking the law just by being truthful and good. The Buddha said to never lie, cheat, or steal, but it is considered all 3 transgressions just to take respite at night anywhere other than jail or a den of iniquity, both of which imply you've already failed.
Truth is dead, but it was not Trump who killed it. It was all of us.
