It's finding out the world doesn't revolve around me, and learning to be in the moment and have a good heart.
I share this sentiment with you very, very much Ngokpa. Thinking it matters what I believe is monumental arrogance - regardless of the nature of my beliefs. And for all those people who claim to seek truth - we're as likely to find it in the Pentateuch and the Gospels as we are in Lucretius or Budhist Suttas or the tao te ching.

If you want to get sober, go to AA and learn how to be humble. AA is as good a place as any to leanr how to be humble. It's not about changing one's beliefs until a set is found which makes me sober. It's about changing myself from an arrogant, self-righteous, angry individual into a humble, openminded, peaceful one. regardless of the words people around me use.
