RAF,
My momentary mistake(s). What I mean is that the pessimism is due to
Schopenhauer's innocently reading the Sutras that were available to him, which
had been badly translated, since the translators had never practiced, in those
early days, having no teachers and no knowledge of Methods. I think nowadays,
translators know better, like the Clearys, Father and Son. But even they are
not Dharma Teachers, so, big grain of Salt! How's your blood-pressure? ;-)
And, sorry I muffed my second sentence; trying to work the hf rig at the same
time as type ASCII keys and not just the Morse key is my downfall sumptimes.
What I mean to write is "...you come across...", or "...you appear..." (see how
I mis-stepped).
So, what's going on in *your* life? Welcome in, again.
You wrote lines about wine and animals.
Cheers,
--Joe
