    People that dislike most food were brats as kids and their parents didn't educate them and has nothing to do with any DNA! Me and my sister both were educated to like all types of food and is not a surprise we both like most food in this world! Some people raise picky children that can't adapt as adults to any other cultures, food or places because they allow them to do whatever they wish instead of teaching them to appreciate the world! Those people are annoying and make the lives of others difficult and they grow hating those who are different to them. Is very narrow minded people and sadly you can't learn much from them because they are very ignorant, neither they want to learn anything new about anyone else that is not identical to them! How you deal with people like that? You tolerate them and avoid them as much as you can! You can choose the people you spend time with! We have the power to fill our lives only with people that we do like and who we feel there is a meaningful exchange! We do not have to like everyone! No I don't get my views from where I grew up, that is exactly what means to grow up! To understand what things were right and what things were wrong that you learn in your house and keep only the good lessons! People that only do what they where taught are not using their intelligence or having self growth. I think if we would choose only people that are respectful we could create a world where people would want to be nice! This is why we have dictators, because people like and allow narcissist in our social circles. I do not want advice to like awful people, I want advice to deal with their awful personalities.

    Unsatisfactoriness, as you describe it here, seems to have been the main, overarching feeling of my adult life. Sometimes raging, sometimes just simmering in the background. But always there. This constant nagging feeling of not being in the right career, not being in the right relationship (and when I'm not in a relationship, the constant feeling of "my needs of connection are not being met, what if they will never be met?"), of "I'm not doing what I should be doing but I don't know what it is that I should be doing"... it's so draining. I numbed it with alcohol for a long time but I'm trying to get off of that. But then the unsatisfactoryness remains. I've meditated on and off in recent years. I'm trying to establish a regular practice. Moments where this feeling subsides have been rather few and far between.

    Something to add to this is that if you took the whole experience of life from birth to death, then this experience could be played on just about any human brain. The only caveat is that the full immersion life movie would be slightly different if played on some brains. But it would still kind of be the same movie, only synesthesia or whatever alteration caused by how the brain perceives the input. In essence, my eyes are capable of seeing what your eyes can also see.

    You're starting to lose me with this one. I'm trying to approach this with an open mind. I'm thinking I shouldn't let this stop me from learning the rest of Buddhism, because the principles resonate with me, but I think you went few places that are stretch too far. You told your Palestinian tour guide that your previous tour guide was a Jew, and asked him what he is, and he answered "human." You imprinted your ideology on that answer and went off on this deep pontification, and you did that because your cup is full. The people in that place do not believe in Buddhist ideology, so whatever he said has nothing to do with anything as profound as what you think it did. Empty your cup and think about what else that could mean, particularly what he might be saying about your first tour guide.

      There are also plenty of people with opinions about what makes a tree beautiful. Symmetry for example. If I'm doing landscaping, I am very particular about the kinds of trees I want on my land. Maybe I like Crimson Kings because it's autumn year-round with them, and that's beautiful to me. And health is very important, because if I have a tree that's rotting, it's making a mess out of my yard, so that tree is getting cut down because by the first I of wisdom (Interdependence) it's affecting everything around it, and by the second I of wisdom (Impermanence), that tree's time has come!

    Secular Buddhism seems to me like saying you want Dhamma without the Buddha, or the Buddha without the Dhamma. Either way, the result is atheism… with incense and pillow-sitting. It is quite possible to recreate the core ideas of the Buddha through the oldest writings in the Pali Canon. In those original teachings, rebirth is at the core. Discard it, and the entire structure of the Buddha’s teachings begins to unravel. What is left is very little of substance - something no less or more helpful than acupuncture, deep-tissue massage, self-help woo, and the arts. Why use Buddhism to describe it? Just call it secularism. Such a complex road to get to everyday secularism seems to me very unnecessary.
