Hello John -However you may see yourself, please do not confuse your own growth as a person with judgement of others. You may have a strong set of core beliefs about how you should run your life, but stating it as opinion without saying "THIS IS TRUE ONLY FOR MYSELF" will be percieved by many as a personal attack.
Using namaste to sign off was not appreciated by me - i understand it is the word you chose, but coming off as judgemental sitting behind a computer is not hard to do. Please don't use "namaste" when signing off when you fail to understand what it means - bowing to the divine in someone else. Your post was seen by me as bowing simply to yourself.
Money as a subject is a strange thing to many people. Just the fact that you own a computer and stereo puts YOU at the top of the human food chain. When your opinion is viewed as a personal attack on spending, oh say, $50,000 on a stereo - you fail to realize yourself as a "free-lance monk".
Judgement, IMO is very important to people - if you cannot judge things, what are you as a highly evolved cerebral cortex? - not much at all. The difference lies in knowing what is true judgement for yourself and not attempting to scream it, say it, impose it etc on others. While this may not have been what your intent was, on the medium of the internet specifics are important to some people.
Judgement without thought these days is rampant. My own political views are not shared by many of my friends. Yet they understand when I critique a POV on an issue vs. a personal attack.
It's like the confused kid in my sanskrit class said when seeking direction in his life - "I need a guru to tell me what to do". You sir, IMO are seeking something from life which you do not even know. I hope you find the right path to whatever you seek. If you seek only a path and I have misunderstood your intentions, then I apologize. But as the true monks and gurus have told me in my life, aim to see higher in yourself and others without quick judgement - ie - don't knock em if you don't know what the hell you are talking about. As the son of immigrants who came here with nothing but education, I was too young to experience their struggle. My family moved up economically with speed and success as I got older. I'm sure many of the individuals on this board work just as hard to live in nice homes and drive cars. Your judgements on an expensive hifi systems are no different from the person who thinks driving a Benz is an insult to the AIDS crisis in Africa. It's a fact of life that everything has hierarchies. IMO, you have failed to see this and your statements have reeked of arrogance.
