#92I have observed some of my friends are dismissive of my concerns but a similar issue for them could be described as a crime against humanity.
Hypocrisy sounds too harsh. I think we are all too quick to speak. My suggestion would be to listen more and ask more questions.

#94The four noble truths (as I see them): All of life is sorrow. Escape from sorrow exists. Escape from sorrow is attainable. Escape from sorrow is Nirvana. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Noble_Truths
That's not true for everyone. I don't have an all happy or all sorrowful life. Same as I don't always make profits or always losses in market transactions.
