Sometime back, I read a very simple paraphrase of Buddha's view/thought on his enlightenment. One of the 4 things he says he achieved freedom from is opinionated views. When I read it, it made sense. However, just because something made sense does not mean it is easy to incorporate. It is difficult, very very difficult. That is the paradox of existence, you might know one thing, but end up doing another. And only you can change that, to make the paradox cease.

:) The trick is to be in the middle, 'balanced', and have the discretion to choose.
Interesting video.
hahahaha... Freedom from opinionated views is tougher to achieve than Nirvana... at least for me (and you if you haven't changed since the last time we met) :p
From the last time you met me I have grown more beautiful (now don't get all jealous there).
Can you write that again please?....slowly this time.
