There Is A Way Of Looking At

My First Encounter With Buddhist Dharma Would Be In My Early 20s. Like Most Young Men, I Was Not Particularly Happy.

I Don't Meet Many People That Are Evil. I Meet Human Beings Who Are Flawed, Who Are Mentally Ill And Have Enormous Problems, But I Don't Think I've Ever Met Someone Who Was A Totally Dark Energy That Had No Humanity Or Sense Of Love Or Affection For Anything In Their Life. That's Very Rare.

All Of Our Energy Should Be In Sacrifice And Services. Suffering, At Least.

It's Not Enough To Say That The Olympics Is An Athletic Contest Outside Of Politics, Because It's Not. The Chinese Clearly Are Using The Olympics To Recreate How They Are Viewed In The World And How They View Themselves.

I'm Younger Than I Once Was. Internally. Less Self-conscious. Less Insecure.
