Either in a locked FOSS program like Trilium or a physical notebook. I censor myself more in the physical notebook but also I write a ton of random thoughts in it so the chances of them reading a political thought surrounded by 100s of daily to dos and random server thoughts is low.
My first totally in prof opinion is that sounds bipolar to me until I read what you’re reacting to. Friends choosing others over you is painful! No reason not to be sad over that. Also, life is hard! I don’t think going in phases of happy and sad throughout the week is too unusual.
I think there are many very different ways to approach experiencing it. If my first experience was at a temple in my local area I would very much be turned away….
Honestly my favorite thing I received was delivery from a local vegan restaurant, it was junk foodie but very yummy. You want junk food when you’re struggling :)
I’m sure the Thai, Myanmar, and Sri Lankan things are still going on but bad people of a religion doesn’t equal said religion. Unless you’re an atheist in the west than that equals all of said religion.
Yes it is surprising but people are of their circumstances
Buddhist, I was more Christian. Growing up in a fundamentalist church and becoming more intellectual drove me to ask big question that Christianity didn’t answer for me. Causes and conditions allowed me to encounter Buddhism when I was living in Japan and it’s grown in me ever since. I really liked how Zen meditation made me feel. Very different from being told to pray but there was nothing and also no unstructured. Buddhism has clear practices and results. I know it has “supernatural” elements but it’s all mostly logical to me and I like that
I feel this! They cook and I clean up too :)
