I'm going to have a wonderful day in spite of everything!

I woke up to this beautiful sunrise.

Oh, wait! that's a goddam forest fire burning parts of beloved Yosemite National Park.

And then I find another DU blame-fest thread, currently up to 123 replies and 100 rec's.


1. About blame-fests:

The Buddha tells a parable of a man who is shot by a poisoned arrow, but before the injured man will allow a doctor to remove the arrow, he insists on knowing the name of the archer, where the archer was from, what was the caste of the archer's family, where the arrow was made, what type of wood was used to form the arrow, etc. Such a man, the Buddha said, would die before learning the answers to his questions.

2. Find someone to pick on who has blood on their hands.





Greed, Grudge and Gaslighting are all they have.
Be better than them.
NOW go have a WONDERFUL DAY.
