Oh shit, I forgot that it was split between Pittsburgh and some other lesser known place. (Joking)

One area where I encounter a lot of static is that many people seem to - at least in the US - have a deep, strong aversion to a lack or avoidance of faith and belief. That a person happily dealing with their challenges in life with no inkling of their own individual continuity, or that the ground will still be there the next step they take. The dharmic perspective has always seemed so adaptable and resilient to me because it recognizes that existence is essentially impersonal. Or, perhaps more accurately/awkwardly, to what extent existence is personal, it is never personal in the way one thinks it is.
It is a lot easier to switch from believing one thing to believing another, then it is to not believe anything. I would also contend that not believing anything is distinct from believing nothing!
