Are you at peace with your life my friend? If so, continue. And if not,
change directions. But do it for you and not for me...then it will be
authentic.
As you instill seeds of peace within others you plant the same seeds
and water these seeds within you as well. As you give so you receive.
Do we like to be beaten down? Whenever we take it upon ourselves to
beat down others, we are headed in a direction of destroying peace. We
destroy our own peace as well as others peace. It takes no energy from
me to pass something by and leave it alone in peace. But it takes my
energy as well as my peace to pick something up to destroy it.
It is your right to not like me and you are free to think about the me
as you please. But, if we are seeking to find the truth about a
subject, I find it a good policy to concentrate on principles and not
on personalties. Concentrating on personalties and name calling just
fuels the passions and makes it hard to discuss the real issues.
The Buddhists have a set of rules they use to determine what are
definitive truths and what are not. This can also be a help to those
that prefer to put personalities before principles. But only if you
choose to apply them. And if not, feel free to concentrate on 'who'
writes what instead of 'what' is written.
1) Do not rely on just the person but rely on the doctrine.
2) With respect to the doctrine, do not rely on just the words, but
rely on the meaning.
3) With respect to the meaning, do not rely on just meaning requiring
interpretation, but rely on meaning that is definitive.
4) With respect to definitive meaning, do not rely on just dualistic
understanding but rely on the wisdom of the direct perception of the
truth.
No one can force you to do something.
Believe or not believe ... but be at peace with your beliefs.
Tired of being angry? Just relinquish control and anger will be
diminished. Anger and control go hand in hand.
Good Luck,

I certainly am, but that doesn't make you any less of an obnoxious dickhead.

Yes, we are. So go and kill yourself already.

Will you PLEASE shut the fuck up? Mark's a regular here. You are a
spamming troll. Whatever happened to that promise that you'd leave? I
suppose you're a liar, just like damn near every other theistic moron
that posts here.
