I believe that these discussions are fruitful if seen to be a boiling pot in to which all our opinions go and then come out a little bit mixed with all the others. I always try to center myself in the viewpoint that we are actually one unified being and that we are many viewpoints of one mind expressing itself to itself. We are a very, very complex mind deliberating very complex issues from multiple viewpoints at once and in that are coming to know ourselves better and better.
I know I often use words and language which may come across as sharp. I fought this in myself for a long time but I'm realizing that in trying to avoid certain forms of expression I was actually avoiding particular feelings within myself that ever yearned to come out. Don't feel like you are merely being tolerated because really we all have our own well of distortions we are swimming through.
As I was told by a Tibetan Monk, we have all drank the crazy water.
