I go back into my shell several times throughout the course of each day, Chris. :-)

And it's fun coming back out again, isn't it?
Just watch out for those expounding what Truth and Reality is, huh? Maybe a pith helmet would help? Hehe.

: As long as we realize each person's ideas of
: what is Truth and what is Reality might be
: quite different, huh?
:
: As Mu said....... We don't need someone's
: else's words to verify what we feel.
:
: If your own Reality is less comforting, then
: are you waiting for someone to come along to
: make you more comfortable?

: Truth?
:
: Perhaps rather than truth, focus on
: reality...Its much easier to identify but
: often less comforting. I read once that a
: master is an imperfect representation of the
: truth of something.
:
: A mastery of understanding does not need to
: walk with purity or in agreement with others
: judgement.
:
: Consider you have walked across a desert and
: find an oasis. Does the failings and faults
: of the owner make the water less useful? The
: purity of the water should be examined not
: the owner.
:
: Today it is very easy to disregard a message
: if you don't like the messenger. We need
: solutions to the pain in our world, but I'm
: afraid judgements are much more easily
: found.

: A lot of uproar seems to happen when someone

: that someone else doesn't like...Anita Dunn
: quoting Zedong, for example.
:
: But i see it happen all the time on forums,
: too.
:
: 'O that can't possibly be true cus so-and-so
: said it!'
:
: To me, this is like saying Alan Watts was a
: phony cause he drank too much.
:
: Or like a kid saying they don't need to
: listen to their parents cause the parents
: aren't saints.
:
: In short, it's a cop out, imo.
:
: Curious on all your takes on it.
