"Unfortunately, most people tend to associate this spiritual phrase with being emotionally cold and unfeeling.But true non-attachment is quite the opposite: it allows us to live in this world fully, without being attached to people, things or thoughts that create suffering. As the Dalai Lama was once quoted to have said, “Attachment is the origin, the root of suffering; hence it is the cause of suffering.” But we don’t have to sell everything we own and become monks or nuns to practice non-attachment; we simply need to understand the vital importance of letting go." https://lonerwolf.com/non-attachment/ "Non-attachment is not about being a cold or emotionally dead brick wall, instead, it’s about learning how to let go of the thoughts and emotions that create suffering. Once we can stop being so attached to our thoughts, we experience tremendous relief, inner peace, and a pervading sense of joyful well-being. So how do we let go of our thoughts and emotions? We must learn to observe and disentangle ourselves from our thoughts through practices such as mindful awareness, meditation, and self-inquiry. When we can simply allow life to unfold naturally without being attached to outcomes, beliefs, feelings or opinions, then we experience true non-attachment. Picture this process of detachment like being an ice cube that slowly melts down into a puddle of flowing water. Water, like the practice of non-attachment, flows with life effortlessly and peacefully, whereas ice cubes do not. The goal of non-attachment, therefore, is to become like water."

We are. No shame in taking place. They were first in the AFC four years in a row. Never has been duplicated... So I guess they earned "God's gift to the world." Title. Teams that beat them never earned that.

Harsh. They are God's second best gift to the earth. What's wrong with that?

Enlightenment is non-attachment. I am confounded by your remarks. I thought you were a more socially liberal guy. You don't seem like a "gotta win at all costs or you aren't worth anything" kind of person. Second best is sometimes better, right? Why can't you rally around: He wants to dream like a young man With the wisdom of an old man. He wants his home and security, He wants to live like a sailor at sea. Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall? You realize you just can't have it all. He's your oldest and your best friend, If you need him, he'll be there again. He's always willing to be second best, A perfect lodger, a perfect guest. Beautiful loser, read it on the wall And realize, you just can't have it all. ...you can't have it all, you can't have it all, Oh, oh, ... can't have it all. He'll never make any enemies, He won't complain if he's caught in a freeze. He'll always ask, he'll always say please. Beautiful loser, never take it all 'cause it's easier, faster when you fall, You just don't need it all Oh, oh, ... you just don't need it all.

My bad, National Socialists. Hitler was on Stalin's Right.

Did you head to Ogdensburg and see what was built in 1959? Was the first nail in fellow Upstate BFLo's economic coffin and opened up Toronto to world-wide trade?

ODS... Obama Derangement Syndrome Obama Bad® Just like the Communists on the Right... Gotta keep constant "revolution."

Yep! We have high water again. Empty barges only draft 2 feet. That mean the other 7-15 feet ride above the water. Only 3 feet to top of our lock wall now. Years ago the rake (bow [or stern] the slants down) skipped over wall, tore railing and took out control house window ledge. This is a rake on an empty barge... This is only drafting 2 feet deep into the water. Easy to skip over a wall, dock, etc...

Damn right! I am the LockNazi®. Run a tight, orderly shift! In all seriousness... No harbor tugs guiding that ***** -er. Italians are cheap and probably don't want to pay for safety. Oh... Wait... That was a harbor tug pulling the bow.... See all that black diesel soot coming from it's stack... Probably should had two tugs doing the job? No bow thrusters on the ship???

For your love When I think about those nights in Montreal I get the sweetest thoughts of you and me Memories of love above the city lights Ooh, I tried so hard to take it But oh Lord my heart won't make it I just wanna stop And tell you what I feel about you babe I just wanna stop I never wanna live without you babe I just gotta stop For your love

Okay... My only moped joke I know. What do fat chicks and mopeds have in common? ...They are both fun to ride until your friends see on one.

I don't believe in guarded borders and I don't believe in hate I don't believe in generals or their stinking torture states And when I talk with the survivors of things too sickening to relate If I had a rocket launcher...I would retaliate On the Rio Lacantun, one hundred thousand wait To fall down from starvation - or some less humane fate Cry for guatemala, with a corpse in every gate If I had a rocket launcher...I would not hesitate I want to raise every voice - at least I've got to try Every time I think about it water rises to my eyes. Situation desperate, echoes of the victims cry If I had a rocket launcher...Some son of a B word would die Vid:

And then... He had the nerve to pi ss it away!

I 2nd this motion.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame You give love a bad name I play my part, and you play your game You give love a bad name, you give love a bad name.

[Murder Ballads! I love murder ballads, got them in my head a mile long!] Easy, let's start simple: Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Alright. I'm goin down to shoot my old lady You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man. I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man...

One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar Has given you the call To call Alice When she was just small When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen slowly dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head Remember what the dormouse said "Feed your head, feed your head"

I think he died way too damn young! Signed, @Gugny @Chef Jim He didn't feel a day over 86 and was in the best shape of his life! ?

I like Roosevelt Franklin:

I will take, "Where is Exiled and His Wife DOESN'T Want to Know What You Did With Him" for $1,000 Alex.

Whiskey bottles and brand new cars Oak tree, you're in my way There's too much coke and too much smoke Look what's going on inside you Ooh, that smell Can't you smell that smell? Ooh, that smell The smell of death surrounds you, yeah
