My introduction
Hello, my name is, well my name is ExistenceIsSuffering but you can call me "Exi" if you like.
The first noble truth in Buddhism is that "Existence is suffering" and, well, I live in Accrington, so... Steep hills, poverty, budget cuts and the insufferable wind and rain we get here make it easy to accept this noble truth. I used to live somewhere really nice. It has tourists going to it because it's so nice. It has rubbish collection EVERY WEEK, flat, maintained pavements, great shops... I had to move to Accrington for financial reasons so I'm stuck here really. Accrington does have one advantage over where I used to live though: you don't seem to get very many beggars here at all, whereas where I used to live people would come up to you all the time for "some change for the bus", "a spare cig", "some money so I can use the phone" etc. Oh well, that's me. A moaner. I wasn't born here, I've only been here 10 years so I'm like a moaning invader, coming over here, stealing your rain, moaning about your homeland. You'll probably learn to ignore me or tune me out somehow. |

Re: My introduction
Forget all those tourists.
In time you'll forget you ever came from Burnley.

Re: My introduction
Alright Smiler ! Namaste, I spent a fair bit of time working with the Gurkhas, Nepalese soldiers in the British Army, most of them where Buddhists & they were always smiling & happy, so what's the hardship ?

Re: My introduction
Some people just wallow in their victim mentality.
Negative thoughts attract negative situations. As a person who professes to have read about buddism he ought to know that. I suspect he is attempting to provoke sympathy - he doesn't get mine.
