I appreciated the post! It reminded me of the Buddha's wisdom shared about being hot and cold. A student asks, How can I avoid being hot or cold ? The wise teacher says, when you are hot, be hot, feel it fully and when you are cold, be cold, feel it fully. For me, there are many lessons here about acceptance and learning to have experience without labeling it "good" or "bad" and trying to avoid what makes you uncomfortable.
Wow, fascinating the circumstances in which you were able to feel free from guilt & pressure. Thanks for sharing, Tom — would like to hear some stories from that time
Gosh I wish society as a whole would come to an agreement that it’s okay to scream when we feel the need to. What a different world that would be. Love these words and cutest pout face btw!

Yes! **Feel it fully**
Love it, thanks for sharing.
Closest i ve come to being totally at peace within myself was during a war
Vietnam was going on and i had no choice but to spend a few yrs in military—luckily in middle east a mostly safe and pleasant place back then
I savored those years no guilt no feeling i should be getting on with my career
Thnx for another thought provoking puece
