I just have to say...

that I have been disappointed by the unkindness of others today. Today I am having dealings with a person of the Buddhist persuasion and am wondering how that person can call himself/herself Buddhist. There is no compassion, no graciousness and then they throw out little personal barbs. Big sigh. THIS is why I do not choose organized religion of any brand, the flock stray too far from the herder giving out the message. There has to be a lesson of compassion for me in this and I am failing because if that Buddhist were standing in front of me right now, they would receive a hard kick in the buttocks. Again with the catch 22, why can´t I let go and love anyway, why is this so flipping hard?!
