You know I was sitting here moping and being I don't know hormonal maybe lol and you all are comforting me. Someone else had a forum thread asking if there was good out there. Well there is in that when we are having a hard time even through this very imperfect interaction of words on a screen people have and actively show compassion.
I am very thankful for the wisdom , humor, teaching wit and compassion of you all. Thanks time for moping to end lol.
There is this idea in Christianity too about being kind to everyone not just those we deem fit to be kind to. Good teaching Bodhi. Thanks from the weak sentient being lol.
Thanks all for reading and I appreciate but I have been part of everything if nothing else I find myself being part of negativity to the degree that I have questioned my tolerance for others. There are some cultures that I am seeing that I have a bias towards and bias is bias there is not lovely wrapping for it. We are on here to make friends and find mates and I just see a bunch of people arguing lately. You are have wonderful things about you but we get these troublemakers on here who stir it up and I have fallen right into reactionary mode. I frankly am beginning to detest it, sometimes I am too passionate of a woman. Our hearts are fragile and I need to ignore them not ignite them if they are ignored their threads will disappear. Sorry off my soapbox. Just so many lonely people coming on here for friendship and the threads of the last couple of days and people like me helping stir it up to greet these people nothing friendly about it.
This is not a new poem and may not seem to make sense but the threads lately that I have been a part of have forgotten how fragile we all are. I have got caught up in the fray to the detriment of myself. I can't joke it off and I can say that it was as a defender of women or my country an advocate but the truth is that much ugliness has been displayed and it's hard when you look in the soul's mirror and see the part you have contributed to it.
Such a sweet talker Vinny words like that will get you..... what will they get you well come over here and find out. Been in a few fights in your time Vinny?
Thanks for that info Bodhi I have been interested in knowing a bit more about Buddhism for a couple of years but haven't looked into it but with the dialogues going on here and with some of the ideas put forth I think I am going to at least gain more knowledge. The previous dialogue piqued my interest more.Right on. Love the poetry as well. Thanks need some inspiration lately.
Of course you are but maybe you will spur me into doing some reading about it. I need a bit of jolting lately to find something of interest to learn about. I know you are very human it's just your poetry and the things you bring up in regards to Buddhism are interesting.
I am interested in connecting with others and obviously to some degree you are on here to connect. You have Joli in your life so there is further connections that interest you even if it's discussion in a forum or sharing your writings with us. So how do you perceive connecting with others in light of your belief system. Hope I am making sense? Just curious.
I don't know you very well Joanne but it is very evident that there is great love and loyalty between you and your husband just from what you post. Right on for the real thing. All that counts is your future together and the past while it makes us who we are in a sense needs to be left there.
So true we really are unknown and sometimes unseen too. I must admit that lack of attachment is a hard concept for me I want to attach to others on some level and for there to be connection to not reach the end of life and feel unknown totally.
I figure if a guy is really interested he will hopefully make the first move and let me know and want to talk to me and find out about me and tell me who he is via emails etc and if I am interested back then cool. If we are just joking around and he emails me then I am not rushing out to get wedding invitations printed up. lol.
It's a hard call if someone is nice enough to send you a flower say from the forums as a woman and someone on here to make friends I try to just be friendly for the most part even if I find a man attractive. It depends where you are at in your life. Usually with me a guy has to practically hit me over the head for me to know he is interested in anything but friendship. lol.
