I hope you won't mind if I keep my intro short... for now... though I suppose if I say more later it won't be an intro anymore will it? well anyway... I'm from Pennsylvania (US), 33 years old, a widower, a student, and interested in learning/growing/being (or whatever word works best). I wasn't really raised in religious homes, and spent my late teens and 20's in Christianity (Protestant and then Eastern Orthodox).

Hi Justin and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

Samsara sucks! Too young (for her to pass away)!
Anyway, welcome to Dhamma Wheel!

Welcome!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Greetings Justin,
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
Metta,
Retro.
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
Metta,
Retro.
If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo
