Laughing in a good way; your enthusiasm is cheerful. Sounds fine to me.

This bit I disagree with. Taomeow never talks “crap”, on the contrary. She merely has another opinion here. But on the whole I agree with your opinion on this one. Once upon a time a long time ago, I did a mindfulness course. The teacher said he had been an alcoholic, but ‘mindfulness’ cured him and had kept him sober since. Now that makes sense to me. I definitely would have quit the course if he still was drinking.

I don’t teach because I know, that would be boring; I teach because I don’t know and need to hear that message again and again.

Ha, ha, I do that a lot. Let rip, then think better of it.

A very useful social skill. I can use it e.g. to restrain myself when someone is rude to me, and just ignore it. But it also makes it possible for me to be cold and cruel. Everything can be used for good and evil.

Cobie replied to Tommy's topic in Buddhist Textual Studies
This is part of my normal everyday awareness. I think it’s a very important ability to have. It is the exchange between my two brain-halves that enables me to change myself. -
