So you are saying we should grant people their autonomy, that seems fine. Your original statement I took as to be saying we should let people choose their own priorities, which i find To be difficult as priorities are not really knobs to be tuned so much as emergent phenomena. Honestly, in my experience one big factor in what the people around me work on is what I work on. When I work on listening intently to people, I find the world much more focused on hearing what I have to say. And when I work on trying to have people see the benefits of sitting, then I create a little anti-Zen backlash in the people around me. > > > > So, what if they are 'attached'? > > > What business is that of anyone else? > > > Well, we are all one. > > Thanks, > > Chris Austin-Lane > > We are all one what? Excellent koan! > The Buddha did say: "Work out your own salvation with diligence." We are, pretty much.
