We pretty much always need an outside force to get us to stop.

    The terms are used almost interchangeably in Hindi. And used to describe something similar in Buddhism. I wonder why there’s so much overlap

      @Darcranium do you know Hindi ?? The fact that you say that the terms are used interchangeably exposes the level of your knowledge of the language. The two words comes from Sanskrit. And even though my mother tongue is not hindi, l’ve used these two words very commonly since my childhood. Samsara in my language means family, but the word originally means the world, which is actually a family like system. Samskara means culture. It could also mean your individual habits and traits.
