There is a myriad of views of each being better, and to say that Theravada is lesser is incorrect, just as it is correct. But where I come from, the religious tolerance that used to work under government regulation in the past, may not work with liberation of views come into play.<br /><br />Dialogue works fine, but within the hearts of each and every there is no real freedom. I'm looking at moving forward in life graciously, humanely, and within my means to spend. Extremism like extreme poverty and super religious heroes cannot work in my environment. I'm talking about ordinary heroes.

I think those with children would have seen mirror images of me in their kids before.<br /><br />But if I were to put things in a problem statement, which my Western educated ex-boss called Gerald taught me to, it is "Young man, you did well for this assignment, but can you try a little bit harder for this area, I think that'll will make the whole product complete." After that, we all go for a good dinner.<br /><br />I have been granted a new job only recently, new colleagues, but my new colleagues seem to be saying "Can you try a little bit less for everything, I think it won't make a difference, after all we can still have noodles for lunch. Every day can still be the same."<br /><br />That said, I rest my case. I'm not saying that what I have is not good. But I'm just hoping that somebody can recognise the fact that while equipoised in all situations, there is still some equality that is more equal than others.<br /><br />ricebowlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904219782540965444.post-40135713718926670272010-08-19T21:25:21.543-04:002010-08-19T21:25:21.543-04:00Stop your ranting: Judge

However, if I walk away ... the truth would be buried," she said. The hearing continues. NG JING YNGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
