Buddhist Thought of the Day - The Return
I've been away for a few weeks. What happened? I can't say and I can't worry about. The fact is, I am posting again.
It's hard to give things up, to let go (and let God, some might add). I have a hard time. I take things personally far too often; the flip side is that I hold things in far too often. I think things but I don't want to hurt people's feelings even when they should probably know what I am thinking. I work on it, both parts. I try to slow down when I recognize that I am taking something personally. I try to anaylize what is being said to recognize whether or not this is something I should appreciate being told or not. As for the holding back part. I don't put the effort into anaylizing this. I don't say something, the moment passes and so with it, the thought or comment I had.
Nagarjuna, Precious GarlandI am not, I will not be.That frightens all the childish
I have not, I will not have.
And extinguishes fear in the wise.
