    There's not a lot to go on, so how's your meditation practise going?

    Welcome to Samsara; we hope you enjoy your stay. This specialist once-in-a-lifetime-over-many-lifetimes resort boasts many features, including pain, hardship, depression, poverty, loneliness, sickness and, for our more discerning guests, a non-specific sense of general futility and despondency. We're sure you will find plenty to occupy you from the above choices, but if you feel like a change from the old routine, why not try out some of our many exciting alternatives? Past guests have raved about the drugs, sex, material possessions, wealth, status, bodily comforts, media-based distractions and other sensual pleasures that Samsara can offer, for just a small extra consideration*. If you don't believe us when we say how good it is, feel free to ask one of our many returning guests, who all liked it so much they came back a second, third or even a billionth time! In fact, 99.9999% of people choose Samsara over Nirvana every time. They can't ALL be wrong! So choose Samsara - the ONLY place that can be both brilliant AND crappy at the same time!!

    ...not sound gay.
    What does sexual orientation have to do with it? If you're just using that as a turn of phrase, please take note that it's highly offensive to many people.

    A good place to start would be to speak intentionally, awake to the meaning of your words. Gay and bull shit have meanings that perhaps you didn't intend? Are you trying to hide from others you are homosexual? Do you live on a cow farm?

    Consider speaking what you mean clearly, without euphemism or pejorative.

    Wow, Vix, I totally read that in a commercial voice. And I have to agree with Mountains and Matt... We have no idea what your talking about and what you _have_ said is rather offensive.

    Good one, Vix.:thumbsup:

    That would be funny if it weren't so depressingly true.

    Girllikesam, Been there, done that.

    A little free advice. Don't let a need for the right words drag you down. The buddha himself was noted for "noble silence" sometimes. If you walk the middle path too, then it won't hurt you anymore than it hurt him, and we know how he turned out.

    Now, that said. If you are concerned about sparing other peoples feelings, don't try. It's a losing battle. The buddha himself was noted for saying that people will lay blame no matter what you do. No, the only true injustice is in letting others ruin your buddha mind. That is the tragedy.

    I could give you advice if you were to be more specific about your particular problem.

    What's wrong with sounding gay? Is being gay a bad thing?

    Luv it, vix.

    @girllikesam, we all suffer, in our own time,
    in our own way, with varying intensity.
    so head's up, its life.

    Buddha said the world is on fire.

    I take it you are overwhelmed :) Perhaps not in a mood for a smile even. Still sometimes all we can do is small things.
