I've learned that I rarely have any idea what will spark comments, so I just write and watch what happens.<br /><br />Bows,<br />NathanNathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920234350446745482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741227658356358863.post-84517592164149608472010-02-02T03:38:32.801-08:002010-02-02T03:38:32.801-08:00My blog is kind of personal and diaristic, and I h...My blog is kind of personal and diaristic, and I hardly get any comments and/or attention.Trevorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02698079775458514018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741227658356358863.post-8044536798687049012010-02-01T20:52:04.644-08:002010-02-01T20:52:04.644-08:00LOL!

My writing tends to be on the serious side, but I try to balance my daily life because it's so easy to become a grouch and a nitpick if you get too heavy. <br /><br />Algernon, <br /><br />Yeah, after reading some of the comments on John's post, I found myself wondering why Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920234350446745482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741227658356358863.post-7718993195300981952010-02-01T05:45:06.061-08:002010-02-01T05:45:06.061-08:00I think one of the sanest things we can do when co...I think one of the sanest things we can do when confronted with things that are Really Important!!! is... to laugh at them.<br /><br />There's something primal or even (dare I use the word?) holy about laughter, especially laughter at or about Really Big Things. Death. Sex. Pain. God. The Buddha.<br /><br />Personally, I'm very, very serious about my practice, such as it is. <br /><br />Brikoleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318706625291447339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741227658356358863.post-87756475250875336032010-01-31T21:40:25.372-08:002010-01-31T21:40:25.372-08:00no comment (:no comment (:Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09688546442746669587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741227658356358863.post-78258225402634339362010-01-31T20:45:34.243-08:002010-01-31T20:45:34.243-08:00"I think it's kind of telling that the po..."I think it's kind of telling that the posts which routinely receive a pile of comments are dramatic, irreverent, or deliberately controversial."<br /><br />Yes, and here's another tell: the need to respond with umbrage at somebody's joke about Buddhism. Some Buddhists might not appreciate the humor, fair enough, but the criticism snowballs and takes on a life of its own, Algernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698040927871199780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741227658356358863.post-35217890532686237912010-01-31T11:25:21.305-08:002010-01-31T11:25:21.305-08:00I agree with your assesment for the most part Nath...I agree with your assesment for the most part Nathan. And I totally agree that it is odd when someone like Brad Warner makes any post and it gets way more attention than much better written pieces by other folks.<br /><br />Attention for attentions sake is not right action, though I have been called an attention whore. Humor for humor sake is great, if it is done in the spirit of humility or in Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925360776637168540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741227658356358863.post-17327149744310524232010-01-31T11:16:30.660-08:002010-01-31T11:16:30.660-08:00As always, Nathan, I enjoyed your summary and your...As always, Nathan, I enjoyed your summary and your commentary. If anything it shows us that it isn't a black and white matter. <br /><br />I do like an open forum because it brings out some conversation that would not otherwise be had but should be. I don't want it to center on what I said or say but would like to see a larger talk.<br /><br />It does bring attention on me, Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
