Watching catch up TV and catching up on ILP posts, after having helped the annoying ex update his CV.
Marrakech really took it out of me, so I’ve practically spent the whole weekend sleeping… and I’m guessing all of next week too… still got 2 suitcases to completely unpack, and a house to still tidy.
Until I’m with someone I’m not with someone, so any intimacy up until then means nothing… as that’s unnecessary energy expenditure… like many emotions are.
How to graft a new religion out of all the already established religions? Since they all lead to the same afterlife essentially, that should be the unifying piece which is Peace if you behave.
Commit to what Wendy? There was nothing to commit to… can we not enjoy any moment for what it simply is?
An old buddy of mine would constantly get caught up in each such ‘moments’ then bed the guy the same night on fake promises of dating… it broke her for years after… she should have took the moment for what it was, and then took herself home to her bed. These guys were serial monogamists/liars, and she… not very clued up on posh attractive alpha-male rugby-playing public-schoolboy-educated serial monogamist/liar types.
There is always someone waiting to take advantage of the weaker other… it’s like a human default setting… I’ve seen it happen all around me over the decades… humans simply cannot help themselves. Having a non-responsive setting to counteract the human default settings come in very handy during times like these.
Eating a fancy cheese plate and drinking a flight of beer on a lovely patio, reading the news, collecting pokeballs and waiting on a friend’s boyfriend to pass out so that she can come and meet me for drinks.
That Buddhist forum was a bust. Hardcore moderation of even simplistic questions. Half of my posts, which were so restrained, were not approved. Not a place to ask questions, not a place to learn. Anyway, I told them to close out my account. Studying alone is often safer than falling victim to moronic teachers.
