    Thank you Jundo, I definitely fall into this trap.

    Will practice keeping my trap shut (and letting go)

            Thank you!

            Gassho,
            Heion
            Look upon the world as a bubble,
            regard it as a mirage;
            who thus perceives the world,
            him Mara, the king of death, does not see.

              To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

                  DON'T BE SO SELF-ANALYTICAL, REFLECTIVELY PHILOSOPHICAL, SELF-PSYCHOLOGIZING, SELF-STORY CREATING!

                  Oh dear, I am a writer...that's what I do. But I promise not to inflict such writing on my friends

                  in the Sanga.

                    There is a time to write stories. There is a timeless time to drop stories. We do not do enough of the latter in this life.

                      This is certainly something that is easily to fall into... and unfortunately, the nature of internet forums lends itself to it. If I'm writing more than what I would say in a face-to-face encounter, then I know it's time to scale back.

                                Thank you Jundo.

                                each time i consider writing something i think, is it really necessary? more often than not i find it is not and write nothing.
