You are right though, I don't want to find myself obsessing over not obsessing! <br /><br />Sometimes asking too many questions to myself creates issues that wasn't even there to begin with. <br /><br />Need to learn to turn my brain off when it starts going like that!MWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421430633168170078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541846551315802129.post-86112971094945639592010-02-04T17:35:10.412-05:002010-02-04T17:35:10.412-05:00Hi

I would not consider you dense...@ The Executioner;<br /><br />I would not consider you dense at all, far from it! <br /><br />Middle Way is a Buddhist concept of how to live. I learned about it in a world religions elective course during university and the idea has stayed with me since. <br /><br />It is about living a life where one is conscious of the polaries in our thinking and being and learning to balance them without taking either extreme too seriously or being overly attached to the outcome as if it is all there is that is important/true. Being overly attached can be a root cause of suffering. <br /><br />Here is a link to a good article about it, if you are interested in reading more.<br /><br />http://www.teosofia.com/midway.htmlMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421430633168170078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541846551315802129.post-24731497088757229422010-02-03T19:58:05.196-05:002010-02-03T19:58:05.196-05:00Still not sure I completely grasp the Middle Way c...Still not sure I completely grasp the Middle Way concept...for the dense readers out there (me), could you give a more explicit definition?The Executionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419763605714282331noreply@blogger.com
