i to have noticed what your talking about, Guy. i would like to think that i want to be a better human being rather than pump up my ego by thinking im right. i believe what i want to accomplish is to get rid of my ego for that is the root of all evil. i think people in here have good intentions but their ego's get in the way. i couldnt give anyone instruction on zen for i am but a novice student of it and life. my laziness prevents me from coming in here often but the last time i was here there seemed to be ego's clashing and to me that doesnt make sense for people practicing zen. i will continue to read material here and hopefully be able to filter the good from the not so good.
