I'm sort of a new school Epicurean but I've had interest in Buddhism (especially Theravada) for what seems like a long time. I'm twenty-one and I live in Richmond...
So, hey.

The above is mean as "Hi yaw", not an attack word.

Theoretical approaches have their place and are, I suppose, essential but a theory must be tempered with reality.

Hi and welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

"Others will misconstrue reality due to their personal perspectives, doggedly holding onto and not easily discarding them; We shall not misconstrue reality due to our own personal perspectives, nor doggedly holding onto them, but will discard them easily. This effacement shall be done."

Greetings Popo,

Retro.
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!

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

Welcome friend 
"But, Udāyi, let be the past, let be the future, I shall set you forth the Teaching: When there is this this is, with arising of this this arises; when there is not this this is not, with cessation of this this ceases." - Majjhima ii,32
