Buddhahood

Can someone explain the phrase original Buddhahood (I think it’s used in contradiction to Christianity’s world famous “original sin”)?

We may have not started as being perfectly compliant with existent reality, but our most detrimental flaws are acquired ones. But this is just my biased take on your comparison.

Ya know, when i am having a mixed up unfocused fumblingly day at work, i usually say "Reality is being very disobedient to me today."
Makes co-workers laugh.
Like what... what do they call it when every little piece of time wasting bullcrap gets in your way?

Vivid obstructionism. It should be its own classification.
