The Moral Truth Here Is Obvious: Anyone

Many Scientists Have Been Drawn To Buddhism Out Of A Sense That The Western Tradition Has Delivered An Impoverished Conception Of Basic, Human Sanity. In The West, If You Speak To Yourself Out Loud All Day Long, You Are Considered Crazy. But Speaking To Yourself Silently - Thinking Incessantly - Is Considered Perfectly Normal.

We Are All Prisoners Of Our Thoughts.

When Someone Like Myself Points Out The Rather Obvious And Compelling Evidence That God Is Cruel And Unjust, Because He Visits Suffering On Innocent People Of A Scope And Scale That Would Embarrass The Most Ambitious Psychopath, We're Told That? God Is Mysterious.

Where We Have Reasons For What We Believe, We Have No Need Of Faith; Where We Have No Reasons, We Have Lost Both Our Connection To The World And To One Another.

We Must Continually Remind Ourselves That There Is A Difference Between What Is Natural And What Is Actually Good For Us.
