I couldn't believe that I had to mentally wrestle with myself the other day as to whether or not to kill a mosquito.StaceyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12065591964164283545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898265.post-1162961761769203912006-11-07T22:56:00.000-06:002006-11-07T22:56:00.000-06:00I humbly disagree.

It's a mentality that doesn't require accountability for one's actions or respect for practically anything.<BR/><BR/>- Texas T-boneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898265.post-1162955795666578282006-11-07T21:16:00.000-06:002006-11-07T21:16:00.000-06:00And then again, how often do you think about him o...And then again, how often do you think about him or his class? I do more than most of my grad school classes. It was definitely frustrating at the time but I appreciate it more now.cjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010307698215832511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898265.post-1162949337430177672006-11-07T19:28:00.000-06:002006-11-07T19:28:00.000-06:00I don't think anyone would disagree with the fact ...I don't think anyone would disagree with the fact that he wasn't an effective teacher!

Just a constant student. <BR/><BR/>I agree that being present is important. I only manage to hit that mark every once in a great while. But you know, as great as Tulsi's teachings are, I used to get pretty irritated at his philosophy. Do something, damn it! I may have even said something like that once. He did something. He lowered my grade for the course to a B. Maybe just being present would have been enough.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182695681344158887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898265.post-1162931591313225402006-11-07T14:33:00.000-06:002006-11-07T14:33:00.000-06:00Tulsi was definitely a "Seed planter."

You have to figure it out on your own. However, if you figure it out, feel free to pass it on to me and I'll do the same.cjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010307698215832511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898265.post-1162909557570802052006-11-07T08:25:00.000-06:002006-11-07T08:25:00.000-06:0010 seconds just passed while I stared at the scree...10 seconds just passed while I stared at the screen, thinking about how hard it is to be consistently present in any given moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6898265.post-1162869941919958962006-11-06T21:25:00.000-06:002006-11-06T21:25:00.000-06:00Be present?
