I agree. While I understand in families the desire to share culture and stories(and you can only share what you know), I think the mistake is made when one tries to force on the other "this IS the way!" I wonder where that need comes from.

I haven't ever tried white tea. I'll look out for it. I don't think its the caffeine that does it to me, but rather the tannins. I've had bad reactions to other drinks with high tannins as well(which is a shame, I rather like red wine).

If one believes in an impersonal Brahman without attributes that does not intervene(perhaps isn't even aware of us), they may not actually engage in any sort of devotion towards said being. There's nothing to really adhere to with such a belief, either. There are things a person can choose to...

Sounds yummy! Though, I can't drink black tea. Gives me heart palpitations. Green tea is fine.

Why would a person have a motive to hold a belief? Generally, I feel people believe what they have found to be true, either through study, experience, or relying on others who they have high esteem in.

I think that's what all of my smiles are...

You're not alone. Ever can opener I've had for a long time are complete garbage.

To Whom It May Concern: The friend that complimented my defense skills was appreciating my physical ability. She was not just "checking me out". There is more to me than just my appearance, thank you very much.

I do love how the children play nearby while the adults are more focused on the puja...

That's interesting... When I'm able to get to a temple(which is rare), it seems a pretty mixed age affair.

I remember that episode, maybe the only episode I remember! "When push comes to shove, you got to do what you love, even if its not a good idea."

Whoops!

I think about that sometimes, too. I spent much time in life being told I was living in poverty... as I sat in my heated house, eating dinner... I think it would help if there was more diverse language surrounding such situations. When I was a kid, a teacher told me poverty described a life in...

That record likely lives on in the minds of others... I have a son that really likes hearing stories of relatives that passed before he was born. Grandma Paula, though dead several decades, lives on in the story of the day she threw her dress over her head... She had a fear of mice. She was...

Pondering on it a bit... More than drinking alcohol or abstaining from alcohol, I see the strong attachment to either as a bigger issue. If one feels a strong pull to drink, and finds that impossible to overcome, that is a problem. If one walks around with a chip on their shoulder about not...

I've wondered why some things imprint and others do not... good way of explaining it. What... there isn't? :P

I know I am not a frequent flier to this site, but I have to say I really appreciate this. Politics in my corner of the world is overtaking everything. I have no interest in joining in on what I see quickly turn to food fights. So, I find myself saying much less than I'd like... Thanks for...
