Somewhere there is ultimate truth. I think I lived the early part of my life with this thought. I just thought someday I would find the truth, the answer, an explanation of what it all means. Then I got busy with life and raised a wonderful daughter with my wife. As I have mentioned in other posts, I just came to realize that there is no such thing as ultimate truth.
Buddhism or rather Buddhist thought makes so much sense and provides a clear pathway. Our instincts seem to come from our ancestors living on the Serengeti. We have developed a culture and society so that we can live together and advance rather than remaining a violent hunter-gatherer Society. Buddhist that gives us a way to manage human nature and create a society where all people are respected. I'm sure there are those who can articulate this much better than myself but I am getting my thoughts down without any notes or references. I guess I do feel that I have found the path that I have been seeking my entire life.
