I find that you learn more from someone who thinks differently from you than from someone who thinks the same as you.
-
Your notion that indigenous Thais don't grieve is nonsense.
-
Thanks, but i'd still rather go with the assumption that grieving when someone close to us dies is not culturally conditioned at all, but encoded in our genes. It seems to have been selected for in order to "punish us" for losing some of our reproductive resources.

Thanks Ajahn Brahm! Can we "undo" our conditioning?
-
@drav1dan Smart explanation - and it sounds plausible enough too. It might even be right!
-
@nealezumm: The answer in one word is: conditioning; just what Ajahn was talking about. Our experience most of the time has been that mellow people are also weak & lack courage. So, we learn to equate mellowness with weakness, foolishness & other negative qualities & even despise such people subconsciously. Here you have someone who is mellow (which triggers despise), yet has wisdom & courage (which trigger respect). As despise & respect arise in your mind at the same time, you are puzzled.

I had a coworker who was on the opposite side of every political belief I have. He was a gentleman who could argue without making it personal. I learned so much from him and miss him more than many friends I had who have the same political views I do.
