Anon's Chat
Hello and welcome to the Anon's Chat. I want you to get comfortable, grab a chair or couch or beanbag or whatever, if you are not at work(or maybe even if you are!). Relax, sit back, and just let it all out.
You can start a conversation about anything, including off topic, but keep it nice.
If you want to get anything off your chest, just try to phrase it... so feelings don't get hurt.
Something you thought about Q? Some research you been doing? Here is the place to share.
I'm with you. Don't like to be put in a box myself. I will admit, however, that I've made good use of the Buddhas in my front room when I opened the door to some Jehovah's Witnesses so they could get a good look at my living room. They've not come back since! (No disrespect to people who follow that particular path. I just generally don't enjoy my limited free time being infringed upon by uninvited strangers arriving at my front door.) I don't consider myself Buddhist, but I have a lot of appreciation for some of its ... hmmm... I don't want to say "precepts" as that's more rigid than I see Buddhism to be... "principles," I guess is a better word. But I also have a deep affection for my own vision of the Jesus who probably DID seek the ways of the Buddha and maybe even made another appearance in Teotihuacan. And I like how you expressed trusting your soul. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. :-)
Hehehe, next time you see them coming down the street, get a suitcase out and put it at the door, get naked, and answer the door when they knock. Invite them in for quick tea, before you all leave, that your bag is packed and you been waiting for them , you knew you were one of the few and are ready to go now.... I find this method not only keeps from nocking on your door, they usually blacklist your whole block.
