Re: Moving away from the term "karma" in Bodhi

Rama-Kandra: That is our karma.
Neo: You believe in karma?
Rama-Kandra: Karma's a word. Like "love". A way of saying 'what I am here to do.' I do not resent my karma - I'm grateful for it. Grateful for my wonderful wife, for my beautiful daughter. They are gifts. And so I do what I must do to honour them.

This pearl-clutching is an embarrassment.
Word-policing is offensive. Much more than the use of a word widely used in non-religious contexts.

Do you really think that people are using 'karma' here in its religious context?
With the intention of disrespecting anybody?

Do you think that forcing your ideas of word usage is going to change the beliefs of anyone?  Other than to convince people that the word police are at it again?
Oh, wow.  'Belief' has religious context too.  My bad.  Where's my hand-sanitizer?

Devs complain constantly they don't have time to fix bug X that's really been disenfranchising people for years on end, but will spend hours & days beating this to death.

Hilarious, ironic point somebody made about "Bodhi".

Since group-think & social-media are the new normal what does the AI think?

	"Bodhi" is a term derived from the Sanskrit and Pali languages, meaning "awakening" or "enlightenment." It is most commonly associated with Buddhism and refers to the understanding or realization of the true nature of reality. Here are some key points about Bodhi:

	Bodhi Tree: The Bodhi tree (Ficus religiosa) is significant in Buddhism as it is the tree under which Siddhartha Gautama, who became the Buddha, attained enlightenment. This event is a pivotal moment in Buddhist tradition.
	Bodhi as Enlightenment: In the context of Buddhism, achieving Bodhi means gaining insight into the nature of suffering, the impermanence of life, and the interconnectedness of all beings. It is the realization of Nirvana, the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice.
	Bodhisattva: In Mahayana Buddhism, a Bodhisattva is an enlightened being who seeks to help others achieve enlightenment rather than entering Nirvana themselves. This concept emphasizes compassion and altruism.
	Bodhi in Meditation: The pursuit of Bodhi often involves meditation, ethical conduct, and the development of wisdom. Practitioners engage in various forms of meditation to cultivate mindfulness and insight.
	Cultural Significance: Bodhi has also been embraced in various cultural contexts, symbolizing spiritual awakening and personal growth beyond Buddhism.
	Overall, Bodhi represents a profound spiritual goal in Buddhism, emphasizing the importance of awakening to the truth of existence and the compassionate pursuit of helping others along the path to enlightenment.

Yeah.  That's gotta go too.
