🦍 Argument of un-controllability
= an ❌ Argument of Non-Self (Buddhism)
- I sometimes dislike and seek to change 💪 Rūpa.
- I sometimes dislike and seek to change ❤️ Vedana.
- I sometimes dislike and seek to change 👁️ Samjna.
- I sometimes dislike and seek to change 🥶 Samskara.
- I sometimes dislike and seek to change 🧠 Vijnana.
