Id greatly admire the direct honesty of your last post. It pleases me much to see words that seem to leave a hint openess and honesty with the reader. Im only just getting started here again, so im finding my feet a little before delving into the relams of life experience in relation to the path i am currently walking.
Of course i judge other people, everyone does, this is life, but one IMO definelty cannot measure the depths of anothers mind, personality or experience, by reading 'empty' words on an internet forum. The most one can hope for is a hint or a taste of that persons present attitude and intellectual knowlege by how they string those words together in their posts.
I wish us to have many more discussions together on this forum in the future. Much love to you

And to you, much love. As my friend Egghead says. Love is the answer, really that's it, unconditional love, do that and everything falls into place. For me those are not empty words, although I fail to live up to them often. But then I can unconditionally love that. Right.

Hmm, sounds alot like new age hippy crap to me. But whatever floats your boat i suppose. Compassion is more important than unconditional love IMO, becuase its altogether much less selfish and possesive in nature. But again, whatever floats your boat i suppose.

If you think unconditional love is selfish or possesive then we are talking about two different things. Love without condition. Accepts all without exception because everything comes from Tao. Hippies too! Buddhists too and me! Unconditional love posseses nothing and embraces everything.

Embracing everything is one thing, letting go of that sweet embrace is quite another.
