forgiveness, what does it really mean

[Lulu]

This brings to mind one of the things I find rather pathetic for grown-ups to still be doing. It is what I refer to as "new age COOL".

What do you mean by this?

Diana,
Remember kids in jr. high or high school that portray "cool" based on using certain words or having certain types of clothing. It's a facade to cover up insecurity and it's tendency is to form cliques causing seperations. There is a lot of that in all communities but I find it especially foolish in seeker communities or new age communities. Fads. word fads, clothes fads, appearance fads, hair fads.... you understand?

Someone wanted me to go on a trip recently who is a friend of a friend, that I don't know. She said she thought I was "cool" and she wants "cool" people. I declined the offer I didn't need to know any more.

I go to Burning Man because I like to dance to really good music, and experience the freedoms. One of the guiding principles is Radical Inclusion. But of course, there are always those who have discovered the "latest" fad. Now, when one goes to burning man and wears faux fur (the was-rage from a few years ago) some who are wearing the new latest fads, project not "cool". I find those attitudes a give-away to their own insecurities. When I'm cold I wear the fur someone gave to me three years ago because I still like to wear it.

This reminds me of experiences my wife and I have recently had.

Thank you for sharing, I love it when people share their stories.
