: Yes Nina, I don't think I was reading you : correctly. : : I think (!) the daoists wrote volumes of : thoughts to help us see why many of our : thoughts (specific ideas) are attachments : that interfere with freedom. Thoughts like : "I think this shoe is too big for : me" are useful and do not usually : amount to attachments. : : Attachments: I am good. There is evil. : There is no evil. I am right and Butcho is : wrong. The dao is moral. The dao is : amoral. These are the kind of thoughts, if : I claim to be certain of their validity, : that I am probably best to let go of. : : (No certainty = wu yi ding) (or was it (bu : yi ding) ? : : Two more: "I have to let go of these : thoughts." "I have to get free : from these attachments" :-) : : love, : rat : Yeah, rat, those are the thoughts that it might be best for you to let go of. But...... If they bring you happiness and fun, why bother?
