I'm not sure what to say, ...Sorry about that! <br /><br />I'm not sure what to say, actually. Since you say I am too young to judge this issue, what can I say? lol.<br /><br />I don't think that having a more eastern mindset means I lack analytic abilities. <br /><br />I've noticed it most strongly in very basic, underlying assumptions (such as the way my friends often see the world as getting better and making progress, while I see it as running down and becoming more chaotic).<br /><br />I don't mean to say that I want to be Alan Watts. It was just something that really struck me when my boyfriend was talking about it. Some people go from a western perspective and start learning about an eastern perspective. Others go the other way. Others have ingrained in them the perspective that is not the one they would be expected to have.<br /><br />Food for thought rather than for conclusion, I think.Ambaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928793933638999583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-57922443696915895422012-09-05T04:07:06.986-04:002012-09-05T04:07:06.986-04:00Hello Ambaa: No response from you as to whether yo...Hello Ambaa: No response from you as to whether you agree with my analysis.Nainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520851434384413200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960293404576749034.post-52205255100291841862012-08-18T07:25:11.329-04:002012-08-18T07:25:11.329-04:00It is premature to judge yourself.

Your cultural and social environment is still Western, though your internal neural wiring may be shaped by Eastern Philosophy. It is in the clash of these two systems in your growing up that would eventually let you have the ability to be reckoned with, much like Alan Watts. When you say that you are lacking some of the Western mind, you are implying that you lack analytical abilities. Nothing can be farther from truth. There can be only one Alan Watts. That is the significance of karmic births.Nainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520851434384413200noreply@blogger.com
