wandelaar Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) @ Rara Perhaps your current girlfriend thinks you're forcefully refusing to remember what has been? Repression could cause problems later on, but if you just prefer to go on with life and make the best of it with your current girlfriend I don't see what's wrong with that.

I wouldn't take used chapstick. Chapstick is also full of chemicals I don't want to put on such a sensitive part of the body. It can cause irritation and dependence by making the lips more dry afterwards. Better to use oil from the side of your nose. Daoists often have VERY particular diets that cannot be casually imbalanced. Like a medicinal tea, if you add a little of something else, it might cancel out what you were trying to do. Same with possessions.. minimalism is appreciation because everything then has meaning. Mindless acquisition is to descend into meaninglessness. Or, maybe your shifu knew you would have those emotions and wanted you to confront them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
