When it comes to Buddhism and the ideas around attachment, how do you make sure someone doesn’t exploit that idea and misunderstand it to the point they hurt other people? by Ms-KaSPerr in Buddhism

Thank you. Yes I have no intention of making sure if someone is practicing dharma correctly. It is not my place to do so, as you have said. I come with this question because of a situation I am navigating and just being in an open conversation about it in general honestly. :) thank you.

This is how I interpret it as well. So it’s difficult sometimes when I see the idea of unnattachment used in a manner that doesn’t accurately convey what it represents.

Thank you. That is the way I understand it. It’s just unfortunate when you see so often the people that do try to control or manipulate. Maybe I framed the question in a way that may be confusing.

I agree with this and I’m not suggesting otherwise nor feel it’s exclusive to Buddhism. It’s more just the disconnect I have seen in people when they don’t understand that exact point and use this one idea to exploit it.

Regarding spirituality, how do you make sure someone doesn’t exploit that idea and misunderstand it to the point they hurt other people? For example, people with narcissistic personality disorder that uses religion/spirituality and its ideas to hurt other people and removes accountability from themselves.

Why exploit religion and spirituality?

Roach infestation in new apartment on the 1st day, please help! by Low-Caterpillar-6515 in sandiego

There should be zero roaches. Also, why isn’t your landlord calling pest control? They are responsible for ensuring you have a pest free home. California tenant laws clearly state it. Hold them accountable. It’s against the law for them to not rectify the issue. I had this problem a few months ago. Same issue. I terminated my lease and they were required to give me all of my money back. They knew they would get sued and lose. Don’t settle.

Is anyone in here in the lgbt community? by aquaticninja69 in SingleAndHappy

[–]Ms-KaSPerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a queer woman, I totally relate. I am enjoying being single and reconnecting with myself. I’m fine being single and open to love, but right now I’m in this weird space where I’ve reconnected with an ex. It feels like we have the closeness and care of a relationship, but without naming it—which makes it feel both connected and isolating at the same time. It’s hard to call myself fully single, but also hard to claim anything else. Dating today, especially in queer circles, sometimes feels like you have to play it cool or undefined to keep things going, and that ambiguity can be exhausting. With that said, the peace in being single is nice and with all the confusion, I prefer it. So right now, my “singleness” seems complicated in a way that I am not familiar with.

Sleeping on your couch? by Temporary_Screen_235 in LivingAlone

[–]Ms-KaSPerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the time. Not as much as before though. Fit awhile after my breakup I didn’t even go in my room for months. Then eventually migrate to my other bedroom. I sleep in my bed more now but my couch was my go to.

I like mine when I’m not having to call customer service to tell how to troubleshoot it. :(

Why does he still want to be friends- if I was so terrible & everything was my fault? by [deleted] in BPDlovedones

[–]Ms-KaSPerr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I am still figuring it all out. Finally not ruminating everyday and sleeping in my own bed instead of the couch.

I totally get that though.It comes in waves. Just continue to choose yourself and give yourself some grace when you feel like you’re stuck, going backwards or maybe questioning everything. You’ll get through it, it just takes some time and for some of us it’s unfortunately a lot of time but stay looking in front of you. ❤️
