By "people/monk helpers have less influence" do you mean countries that support the people including monks or do you mean the people and monks who are helping or trying to create change? Cos I thought it was the countries with less influence. The monks actually would have high influence in the country. Burma's one of the places where people (well, men probably--don't know if they have nuns there) join the monastery for a short time then return to the world so it's prevelant in their culture. Also, monks stopped accepting things from officals with is bad because one of the main ways, in Buddhism, to obtain merit is by giving to the monks. By giving stuff away you're better off. So they're striking at an ideological/religious weak point (since many people are Buddhists). Remember reading that. Found it all amusing.
Speaking of monks....*sob* There something I have to talk to you about.
Also, I feel I've been a bad....person of a certain relationship because I haven't thought about a certain [love]chef/cook/whatever you want to call him since...er, well this morning...and later tonight during my WST class...Okay so I have thought about him....It's just I'm thinking about the other guy now and I feel guilty for having these deep, sincere, "I care" feelings for the guy. Would I feel them for my [love] cook/chef if it happened to him? More I want to kill them and make sure he's alright but in this case I just feel miserable. Does that make me a bad person?

I was refering to what you said - about how the countries supporting the people/monks had little influence. I actually just read a bit about how Buddhist Burma is...no other thoughts are that.

What's wrong with caring and thinking about someone else than bro/crap-chief? I mean, I wouldn't think there's anything wrong with sincere feelings for another guy, especially if you feel for him (as in something to make you feel miserable)? Or do you feel miserable because you are thinking/feeling sincerely, etc for another male? Either way, I can't see what the big problem is; the heart's made (I think) to care unlimitedly, so there can never be too many to care for. Does that make sense?

I feel (felt?) miserable because of information that had been disclosed last night which didn't hit me full force till they had all left.
