You seem like an intelligent likeable person, why no confidence?

Would blaming genes be a copout? The same can be asked of someone who is quite confident... where does that confidence come from?

Wouldn't a happy medium be nice, functional yet humble?

I'm aiming at that happy medium. Do you have any advice how to get there? And since I'm a book worm, have any reading suggestions on that topic as well?

I suspect you have read far more than I ever have. Don't you think the confidence will come from within and not from a book?

You're most likely right. I need a spiritual or emotional stoking to start whatever confidence in my personal confidence fire stove. Did I just butcher that poor metaphor?

The opposite of down south?

Why didn't I think of that?

Were you too busy trying to find your way?

Everybody is busy with life I suppose... well most everybody. I can imagine there are some monks living in a monastery in some hard to reach mountain top who aren't ever too busy to find they're way, don'cha think?

Maybe not so busy but quite lonely right?

The professor of my History of Buddhism class seemed to make that case against the whole idea of monasticism. Did you grow up in a church going family?

I've attended church off and on throughout my life, but I find it hard to believe the true spirit of religion resides in a building don't you?

I guess if you had the archeological skills of Indiana Jones you could find that architectural Holy Grail of a spirited building.

As for your general thesis? I can't find any fault in that logic, can I?

Are you always so agreeable?

Honestly? That's my nature, yes. Plus its kind of difficult to figure how to contradict in an appropriate question form. Sounds reasonable?

yes we are a bit locked into the question format aren't we?
