This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."

Greetings,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
Metta,
Retro.
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
Metta,
Retro.
If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo

Welcome! I'm new here too.
Is your invisibility a disability, or a superpower? And if the latter, do you use your superpowers for good or evil? It'd suck to be invisible permanently.
Then,
saturated with joy,
you will put an end to suffering and stress.
