Your keyboard maybe. Alcohol in a spray bottle

Having been here multiple times as a dude I almost guarantee you he’s nervous he’ll say/do something dumb now because he wants to date you and doesn’t want to lose you. After a while he’ll return to normal. I’d give him a chance

Reply to ELI5: when people give up red meat for lent, why do they always eat fish instead? Aren't chicken and turkey white meats too? by Inanimatepony
Because back in the day they didn’t consider fish meat, so they’re getting by on a loophole. Much like the string that encircles Manhattan so Jewish people never have to leave the “home”

I’d like to see the data around how often it’s because the person is nervous

Reply to TIL Mountain Gorillas almost never drink water. They get their hydration from from their plant diet and morning dew. Despite living in rainforests, they also tend to dislike rain and try to not get wet when crossing a stream. They have never been observed drinking water in the wild before 2013 by Ainsley-Sorsby
Well they don’t have beer yet so it’s not safe

Well since there’s no real definition that leaves room for people to come up with their own. My interpretation of what the definition would be based on some small knowledge of the subject is that you are in a permanent state of complete contentedness, without the need or desire for anything other than basic survival. I am not enlightened, no one who says they are either. Having the need to express to other people that you are enlightened seems like an ego driven need to me. I could see it as somewhere in the realm of complete control of the unconscious from the conscious mind. It seems like the type of thing that needs to be maintained but once attained maintenance would be second nature. It seems like it would just be how you are now, after years of progressively going in that direction. Imo your thoughts are a sort of range of options fed to the conscious mind from the unconscious based on perception and experience. As to what started the immortal life entity which in my mind is synonymous with consciousness and intelligence that has replicated itself to the point we are now, I’m not sure. But ultimately that’s where thoughts came from, I read a thing about how some theoretical physicists think consciousness could be a different dimension.

I’m not sure an article can come close to defining a concept like enlightenment, especially a non scientific one. At least not until we fully understand consciousness.

Morals have never been a construct of society and to think one event in the last 100 changed anything is ridiculous
