Right Concentration and Right Mind. I get distracted by bad thoughts. A double whammy!! gonk

Right Thought. I am a very vengeful person. And I am having a very hard time forgiving a certain person for the pain he caused me.

I know deep inside that my holding on to the anger is doing nothing but hurting me. But sometimes it is very very difficult to let go.

But I am closer to forgiving now than I have been in a very long time.

Right speech. I'm a horrible, cursing gossip.

Mine would be craving and saying the right things, because there is so much gossip and stuff at my school. However, since I have started meditating, I find it much easier to do this stuff.... so.... yeah biggrin

I love you so much it hurts me
And there's nothing I can do

Right Mind I think is going to be almost impossible for me. I'm a pretty vengeful person and I have a barrage of mental disorders and I am the biggest daydreamer.... *sigh* It's so hard.

I want to hold you, my dear, forever and ever
I love you so much it hurts me so

I have a problem with right mind. Like the first thing that would pop into my head would be bad but I'd push them aside. It's not cool, like my mind is still clepto. I don't steal or anything anymore but it frightens me that the idea still pops into my head.

Definitely right speech and right mind, like yourself... I've noticed over the past few years I had become extremely shallow and mean towards people.

Even though I've been practicing the eight fold path as much as I subconsciously can, I find myself coming out with mean words or thoughts almost instantly, without even thinking about the consequences.. And always, straight after I say or think something horrible, I think "wow.. That was nasty of me.."
Bit late then, huh? =P

I'll train myself out of it though. I used to be such a nice person all round (in my eyes). I just became a little shallow over the years.
