It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly
A truly religious person wishes and prays that those who curse and harass his religion be the first to go to heaven or paradise.
Genuinely religious people do not claim that only followers of their faith go someplace wonderful while nonbelievers all go someplace horrible.
The more a person curses and harms you, the more you should respect him. The Buddha always said that we should strive most to help and serve our enemies and that we should always put them ahead of ourselves.
Once you begin to cleanse your heart, you develop such attitudes naturally.
How did the Buddha treat his wicked, evil scheming cousin Devadatta?
With eventual supreme enlightenment.
