Well thanks for that LP. Reading between the lines, you think I'm supporting something Drich has said? Well that's not the case at all, and I can pretty much say that categorically without even reading what he says. I'm right up there with Judi wishing he was gone from this site. But... ironically he was instrumental in my drive towards Buddhist thinking... so I am thankful to him for that. It took one unstoppable idiot for me to realise that there were some things in life that would never change and you could never get rid of. So I'm thankful to him for being like a stubborn turd in the toilet, because of the much needed lessons it has taught me. That when faced with an outside you have no control over, the only thing left to do is accept it as it is, without any attempt to change it or remove it, and work instead on how you deal with it in your own mind. And to take it further I'll use a common Buddhist analogy: what do you do when someone dumps a huge pile of shit on your front lawn? You dig it in and let it fertilise a beautiful garden. In other words you put adversity to good use, and learn from it, or grow from it. If you don't, you'll just be staring at a huge pile of shit forever.
