nirvana is defined as the state of transcendence where there is neither suffering nor desire, nor sense of self………………………………lofty goal

for me perhaps a more realistic goal is to be in charge of my emotions and not vice versa

• to pause before speaking
• to be humble and considerate placing others first
• to relate and translate that communication into meaningful dialog
• to stifle my urge to inform you of my wounds
• to give others the breaks i want them to offer me
• to love without regard to appearance or thought of benefit

to do for others more than i want them to do for me

there is no point in riding this thing out……………………………sounds like a journey on a ferris wheel

either one is moving to an ideal or moving away………………..there is no treading water in life
