You've never said "I'm fine thanks," when someone says, "howw are you?" When really you're not feeling too well? Or told a white lie to save hurting someone's feelings. What about when it's best to protect someone from the truth if it's in their best interests?
Whilst I respect and quite often agree with most of your posts, you're so far off the mark with regards to buddhism on this one. In fact the irony in your comment is almost laughable. But only someone who has studied buddhism would see that, so it's understandable.
When this feature was first introduced the forums were like a battleground. Trolls, fake profiles and trouble causers we running amok, disrupting thread after thread. By comparison, the forums these days are almost sedentary
"Almost everyone knows deep down that true love places no conditions on caring and sharing, or any form of giving. Love does not receive, but it does not take. If you dare to bare yourself, to open yourself, to remove all that you place between yourself and others, dare to give unconditionally of yourself, and both you and whoever else is in your presence, are likely to feel the shock of the unconditional energy of life itself, which is love."
It's when you give love expecting or wanting nothing in return. Also referred to as, unconditional love, agape or disinterested love...and it's very rare.
The ban function wasn't to delete posts, it was to ban a member from the thread . You could hide a post, but as I mentioned earlier, everyone had the option to unhide it, so it became pointless..
Yes, the hosts profile gives all the information. Type of work, food and accommodation, usually has photos too. There's even feedback from people who have stayed there. I've met so many, mainly younger people who do this full time, they don't have homes, just live travelling the world from one workaway to another.
Thanks, I'm spoilt for choice right now. I tend to do workaways in the UK during the summer till the flights get cheaper. The variety of jobs are amazing, from helping someone decorate in a house in the UK, to helping out in a meditation and yoga centre on a beach in Cambodia, to an animal sanctuary in Kathmandu or an orange Grove in Valencia....you get the idea...
I'm hoping to go down to a mansion that's being renovated on the beautiful Pembrokeshire Coast next week, just waiting for conformation.
I've been using a site called workaway for the past two years. It covers over 150 countries worldwide , many different and intereating places. The idea is, you turn up, get fed and a place to sleep, quite often your own en suit bedroom in exchange for around five hours work, five days a week. I've done eight workaways in the last two years, met some really interesting people and had a great time. Hoping to start another next week.
The banning feature got out of hand, eventually caused more problems than it solved. Originally introduced so the OP could stop any fighting or name calling, but too many used it because someone didnt agree with them, or they just didn't like them. This led to many threads complaining that they had been banned by a certain member, maybe that's why it's been removed.
I started going to yoga classes about six years ago, wish I'd done it earlier. I've never done any physical exercise that has given me so much reward for so little put in. I find going to classes suits me much more than doing it at home, I guess it's a motivation thing.
I suspect a second vote would result in a remain landslide. There should never have been a referendum for such a complex issue in the first place. The whole thing is bordering on farce.
That makes a difference. A good teacher should know everyone's name, know what weaknesses they may have, such as problems with knees or back and pay close attention to the group, correcting stretching positions when necessary. Ive come across some who do none of this.
There are many different types of yoga, some more fluid and demanding than others. I find Iyengar yoga to be most useful for me, it's not too energetic. A good teacher makes all the difference though.
