concupiscence

Leanne:

I was doing well till the mention of not deserving my lavender patch

I AM teenage whiny right now, the world is not behaving as it should and it is making me whiny.... sniffle.

Funny though, I've been listening to Buddhist podcasts on my ipod and the last was by an Australian woman about external forces having nothing to do with our internal happiness (obviously had NOT seen my dead lavender). Perfectly logical, simply change your  how your mind thinks. course that would be the most bloody difficult thing to do!

The other day I saw clear cutting of trees for a new "McMansion", I almost threw up (wrote about it on the other site). In the end I think we'll just stupid ourselves into extinction and the earth will carry on happily with out us. The incredible arrogance of man that we somehow should carry more importance than any other being on this planet is staggering.

Oh, and thanks for the passives point, I tend to do that sometimes - will address (passively of course)
