    Undies is such a card...:rolleyes:

    I don't know if I believe in inner peace. I feel that I need to be able to get mad, or sad or emotional. Inner peace sounds so...numb. Inner peace is for people who sit on mountaintops in loincloths answering deep questions...I am a mom.

    You're very right.

    I feel extremely at peace with myself, but at the same time, I am also rather emotionally numb.

    I also feel the need for adverse emotions and for practical intercourse with the real world...But I need contemplative breaks from it all very regularly.

    All that is to say, I think I'll be a good dad. :biggrin:

    Sorry to hear about that.
    But I think yoga is the best to help you with inner peace...

    I Heart Huckabees hits the nail on the head with this one. I have experienced it personally through meditation and by dragging myself through some awful, unavoidable situations and I'm sure some of you will relate to this:

    Inner Peace is quite possible, but the mind's habit is to cling and as long as you're a member of this jagged, chaotic society, you will always be dragged right back into the absurd world of human drama, and perhaps fight your way back into a state of peace, then get dragged kicking and screaming back into the drama...and so on and so on.

    Its a sick joke essentially.
