Merry post-apocolyptic Christmas everyone.
May your days be free from anxiety, christmas syndrome and any concerns that the mayan calander was mistakenly read upside down - hence the world ending in 5105.
May you all have a happy day whether it be in the company of others or on your own. Remember the "spirit of christmas" is nothing but some mental dhammas that we hold dear: compassion, loving kindness, generosity, and patience.
And let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your contributions at Dhamma Wheel and making it the great online sangha that it is.
with metta,
Ben
Merry Post-Apocolyptic Christmas!

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Seriously, don't worry about it.
