[Buddha-l] Gandharan Buddhist Art at NY Asia Society

Richard,
 
American males may think they are showing affection for each  other by 
carping, but hostility, denigrating and belittling humor are cruel,  regardless 
of what intent the perpetrator thinks (mistakenly or otherwise) his  
motivation is. It is one of the reasons I live in countries outside the US,  where 
kindness is more often the norm. It is also one of the reasons I  sometimes 
delete unread entire strings of messages on this mailing list when  
oneupmanship becomes rampant, and why I am often tempted to leave it. I  have 
learned many things from reading posts on this list, and for that I am  grateful, 
but probably the most valuable life lesson it has taught me is to  avoid 
academics in real life, when possible.
 
Best wishes,
 
Konchog Dorje

Carping? American males show affection for each  other by teasing each 
other playfully. Sorry if it offended anyone.  

What is blog-fog? We don't get much of any kind of fog here in the  high 
desert.
