begin to put the teachings into practice in a way that any of us could really relate to. Does that answer your question?

I agree. I think that there's so much lost by not having the letters any longer in our lives. But in terms of the joyous effort, yeah, I guess in letter writing, usually it's someone you love or at least feel very fondly toward. And it's a joy to share, to be able to read what they're doing and respond and share what you're doing. There's a lot of, you could remain quite close through that.

And maybe I took your question and went a different direction with it. I'm not sure.

I think it's a shame we've lost that art. I really do.

It fits. It fits in terms of we are so distracted by I know people enjoy social media. There's a lot of fun in that too, but I feel like is in so many cases, it's look at me, look what I'm doing. This is what I ate for dinner. This is my new house. This is this. And it's not with the exchange, like a genuine kind of exchange of story of sharing of your actual life.

but we're distracted by this sort of glittery idea of the attention. It does seem some kind of attention seeking, like a real need of being all eyes on me. And it's a little uncomfortable for me, but I think it doesn't hold up. It doesn't have anything to really sustain anything of any true quality with. Does that make sense?

I think there's a lot to that, really. I also think that to the degree we are of self-absorption, just to being so self-absorbed. In the Buddhist teachings that I've studied, and granted, there are different schools that have Buddhism, I suppose. And the one I'm most familiar with is the Tibetan Buddhist teachings. And that's all about the intention to benefit others.
