what a crummy thing to say

UPATHAN

sunny 29 °C

HIYA!

Yeah, I said a crummy thing about Pranom. There is no good reason to have said that he wouldn't last on a mostly raw food diet. So what? He hasn't lasted but, still, so what?

There's this word in Buddhism, UPATHAN. Or at least, this is sort of how it sounds in Thai language. I really like this. It means to cling to misunderstandings. So when we, for example, believe that we have to eat rice, or bread, or meat, or whatever in order to stay healthy, well, there it is, that UPATHAN. Sleeping 8 hours a day. Not letting your hair get wet when it rains or you'll get a headache! The list goes on and on.

Troy.
