I agree with your view, John Zen.

Very good point.

Yes, good advice. Non, we all wish you the best.

There is nothing wrong with people choosing to not seek enlightenment. Look at how many seekers there are, compared to how many true realizers...is the path worth it, if you give up your life and attain nothing? That's up to each person to decide, for themselves. No one else should make their decision for them, or judge them on whether it's right or wrong. If someone decides that it's not worth it, and simply being a good person is their path, you should respect their decision. Virtue is everything, both when it comes to improving this mundane world, as well as making true spiritual progress. Perhaps that person is further along than yourself, more grounded, and understands more about the consequences of too much "spirituality". The grandmother is trying to raise her grandchild right, through her wisdom. But you took personal offense, and started condemning basically all of Asia, because they don't pray as hard as you do!

Might want to take a break from practices for a while? Just a suggestion, it's your call.

I think it's Sean's website...he is the guy who owns/runs this forum. I see it when the site is loading as well, so don't worry.

It's typical for this time of year.

Excellent post, thelerner.
