[Buddha-l] Enneagram and Buddhism

[jkirk]

"..........The stereotypical view of the USA serves as the image
for Enneatype Three: obsessed with success, contemptuous of
failure, driven to seek excellence, prone to self-adulation,
willing to engage in deceit in order to try to bolster an image
of success. (What else would one expect of a country that Mitt
Romney repeatedly called, to the great embarrassment of many of
us non-Three Americans, the greatest nation in the history of the
human race.) "...................

Hmmm---however, Enneatype 3 doesn't deal with the other mass
Amurrikan phenomenon, the TV-beerslugging couch potato. He too
(yes, I said he--the women are doing other things, whilst going
along with hubby), usually agrees with the Mitt Romney view of
the country, not because of the drinking water but because of
the watching water--teevee, a main US source for spiritual
comfort. When not watching sports, one can watch health or soul
hucksters.
