I came to that realisation a long time ago but now I'm a 'sit on the porch with a few cold beers' kinda guy, I let the younger Souls (yeah I know, no time) run around like kids in a play park, while they're running to stand still I'm standing still to run.

"Look mama I'm not reacting" - yes dear well done, now try again without the noise & bravado."
That was not aimed your way
Greenslade - I always speak to the lurkers when in pleasant conversation with someone such as yourself.
Lately what I interpret to be western Buddhist converts or wibbly wobbly new age patchwork people seem to claim their badges by looking down on the rest.
I try to point out that repeating a holy text or guru alone does not equal enlightenment.
Posters such as yourself &
moonglow break down statements made which may very well inform others instead of preaching from a book or coming from a place of self indoctrination.
That's to be commended in my personal view.
Often those not using the latest lingo are dismissed, those with a firmer tone admonished or belittled under the guise of "it moved me to comment".
Catsiquatl left his gloves in the ring due to that type of attitude - those proclaiming to spiritually " get it" but not share.
Its a form of hierarchy enforcement.
Nothing peaceful or enlightened about that from my perspective.
I always appreciate your input, it comes across as genuine & pondered.
