Jib: thank you XD XD

Jib: My mind needs an ice cream too. Badly. Just wanted to let you know that your posts in that thread in the cloister are very interesting -- especially the latest one, where you covered the idea of dualism and provided examples for support -- all very, very interesting stuff. And I completely agree with the idea uh...well, I call it the "Tower of Babel." Not an original, I know But really, everyone's saying the same thing, it's just that certain cultures are better suited to say the same thing in a certain way to their certain people. I think a lot of problems are arising now especially because 'world religion' is forgetting that all the older religions -- Buddhism and Christianity, for example -- were society-based. Buddhism preaches the idea of walking alone and being detached and self-reliant, but as far as I know, Buddhist societies have generally been more peaceful, and have had generally good amounts of sociability. Now I know why sitting alone in a basement in near monastic isolation for the past some-odd years was perhaps an 'inaccurate' idea, the repercussions of which I'm still suffering, or perhaps just starting to suffer! For joy But yeah, hey, great, great posts, and that thing about your brain/mind (I can't remember which you said) needing an ice cream completely hit home with me. I think it's that whole Myers Briggs thing, or however you spell it -- you know, mental functions and personality typing, and how when your weaker functions are called upon, you get stressed out, and 'shadow functions' can come into play. So you can get really violent and angry, which I do a lot, but I'm wondering now if a 'shadow function' can be wanting to go cry to someone and fall asleep with them like a baby. And yes, with an ice cream. Because I love learning and thinking, but for God's sake (quite literally, maybe!), enough is enough sometimes! ...hm. Well, hey, cookie dough or peppermint or what? Favorite flavor? I like ice cream!

Jib: Read your comment on ElanSurtax's entry (I thought it was a refreshing take on something so often stale as well, by the way -- love her writing style), and noticed this: "But empathy is hollow without the strength of a conviction and subsequent action of change to make things better." Just had to let you know that really rang true, and it made me happy to read over that thought. The whole comment was very well put and definitely, definitely insightful, and that one part in particular just stood out to me. So thanks =]
