we've put too much value on them/it...
Buddha said when we are upset by something (or someone), we've put too much value on them/it. It is our own projection that disappoints us. Path is path.
This is such a good point.... and maybe why it appears that I'm aloof sometimes. Every once in awhile, however, I get obsessed over someone/something...It's rare, but sometimes a person, especially, not so much an object, can drive me crazy. I think about the bastard all the time, I worry about what the person thinks of me, I crave the person's attention.... and I HATE it. And I LOVE it. Obsession. It's really insane.
Fortunately, I have the wherewithal to not let on that I'm obsessed. I may be a fool, but I don't wanna LOOK like one. :p
Now that I think about it, obsessing over stuff can be kinda cool- last year I started obsessing over scuba diving. I don't know why, but holy fucking shit I love it... I'm doing a TDI advanced Nitrox class this summer and I've been geeking out on the physiology. I'm really digging it. I had considered medical school before (and changed my mind when I learned that the pharmaceutical company teaches alot of the courses and nutrition is covered in one quarter), but Dive Doc? Oh... the possibilities are endless. It's times like these that I'm glad that I'm not married and have no babies....
Dove Monastery Beach on Sunday... I'm in love with that wall! I can't believe all the fun fishies I saw and the rock formations are freaking phenomenal! I can dive there about 20 more times, me thinks... and the two guys on the boat we were on (Cap't Mike and Crew Mike on the Silver Prince) were *awesome*. I loved the captain's voice as he gave us the low down on the dive site. Good times....
