Welcome!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
Nice avatar! Is that a pawn seeing himself as a king? Or just an interest in chess?

Thank you all for the warm welcome
David, to answer your question, it's both! The pawn has the capability to be the most powerful piece on the board (i.e namely the queen) and I do LOVE chess
Kindest regards,

Greetings m12,
Welcome to the forum.
(another keen chess player here, though I'm not an 'active' player just now, and I bow to David's mastery of the sport...)

If you have asked me of the origination of unease, then I shall explain it to you in accordance with my understanding:
Whatever various forms of unease there are in the world, They originate founded in encumbering accumulation. (Pārāyanavagga)
'We should not congratulate someone on the success of their misdeeds, but on the contrary should endeavour to advise him or her to lead a more skilful and wholesome life. If such advice is ignored then we can only give up and let go' - Phra Panyapatipo
