Hello Dave I know about this, and I understand. This is also why I've cut down on postings and pay more attention to the printed material. Some of the materials are useful, whilst others are not. Unlike in the past, my thinking these days is that some things are just not worth getting heated up about. Zen is known or understood by many as the religion of the old samurai. However, it also has a non-combative side which promotes peace and harmony
I'd rather not argue anymore myself, unless someone's life is on line. A long time ago, there was a sitcom/TV program titled DIFFERENT STROKES. In one episode, there was something about the father getting married and all 3 kids will be separated by different countries...or something like that. The little black boy said something like.... ....'we're going to have to argue and fight with each other over the mail'............... (letters...yes, there are some of us today who remember them today...*smiles*) So, do we let go? Yes we do. These days, I sometimes feel really silly myself when I get into a heated debate or argument with someone. It just reminds me of the sitcom program above Buddha be praised Mel --- On Sun, 13/2/11, Dave P <[email protected]> wrote: Because walkign away is a lot like letting go? > > I find that I can't stop arguing online about silly things.
