Noted with thanks.Originally posted by Dawnfirstlight:On net? Do you mean facebook? If yes, just unfriend her. I always unfriend those people who give me problem whether on net or in real life. Don't let others' comments affect you. They will stop after sometime if they see no response from you. Life is short, don't bother too much about what others think or write about you unless you have to face her everyday, then you have to think of something to deal with the problem. If not, why bother?

You are welcomed. Remember, peace and happiness comes from within. Don't be easily affected by people or things around you. This is Zen teaching. I'm also learning and though I've not mastered the skill yet but I'm definitely happier than before.

There are inner peace and outer peace, which are 2 different worlds pursuing the same ideal. Even peace itself have different conceptions and perceptions which effect different realities; hence, influencing different fates and destinies. Within or without - the ideal can be achieved by one person in solitary confinements and preached to others to follow the same; and this is inherent not in one religion, but shared by all other good religions. The God(s) or the One…has left great truths as time immemorial legacies for humans to follow and strive on… But there are many situations and untold stories in history which humans are challenged to the unbearable point which one can but cannot, either/or, to be/not to be, thus/thus not…the fear and the trembling; where many times, such distressed situations and human dilemmas are being carried upon by someone, somehow or another, to restore outer peace with the strength of one’s conviction and belief in the pursuit of peace, truth and justice in many and amazing ways - within/without....to carry on the great tradition and legacies left by our forebears... - Fcukpap
