Some of us are glad you've returned Giacomo. Welcome back!
Perhaps you'd care to expand on this comment. You said yesterday - people tend to focus on the extraordinary. So you left after you realized what enlightenment was. It's probably true that enlightenment isn't something we can easily put a label on or define ... even though generally regarded as the end of suffering.
Enlightenment can appear as literally anything, can't it? We may tend to think an enlightened individual would be respectful, courteous, responsible, tactful, considerate, self sacrificing, compassionate, wise, etc etc ... and above all humble. Why do we assume that? People have flaws - all people, even enlightened ones. Enlightened people are still ordinary. Maybe the most ordinary.
What is in our hearts that make us believe we know what enlightenment looks like? Why are we judging and can we trust our own judgment? From the discussion comments so far, the implication seems to be that if someone claims to be enlightened (or we have judged them as making that claim), that they cannot possibly be what they seem to be claiming. Isn't it somewhat foolish to assume that we would know what enlightenment always looks like? How could we possibly know? Do you, Giacomo, know what enlightenment always looks like?
If enlightenment is the end of suffering, then all we can be relatively certain of is that the one who either appears to be enlightened or to know what enlightenment is - is no longer suffering. But that isn't sufficient either, is it? There's an intangible something that accompanies the state of liberation. Perhaps a capacity for - and patient willingness to - dismantle suffering whenever and wherever it may present. And to remain present (or mindful) enough to do so.
It appears that you are doing your best to provide, to the best of your ability, an accurate example of what suffering is and is not, what enlightenment is and is not. An admirable endeavor no matter what station you are at with regard to the endpoint ... or lack thereof.
love
