I don't know you very well, David.

It seems you are happily married. If you are a highly evolved man, surely your compassion expands to all three of them, seeing their weaknesses with understanding and loving kindness, -understanding they are all suffering.

In this regard it is also part of the uniform. the banner of the arahants.

And how is matted?

I've always wondered if it had to do with practical reasons, such as, head lice, and since monks are not allowed to kill them, this would be a good preventive. I have long hair, and it's probably less work than shaving to wash it every few days and take the scissors and trim the lenght, every few m...

Thank you, Cittasanto.

To all...

who (of the 3) can you identy with the easiest?

Why is that so?

Thank you.

From what I know it sounds like rubbish spewing forth from his mouth to try and cover himself. But you're assuming, right...? he did have another option, act professionally, otherwise the Burkha option is all that is left. What would you suggest as "acting professionally", then? one thing...

Anna, We're so far away in what concerns this subject, that it's best not even discuss it. If that's what you prefer I can respect this, no problem, maybe it is wise then to talk some other time where we find ourselves on terrain that is more agreeable for the 2 of us. :anjali: Thanks for sharing y...

He was definitely failing them, Cittasanto, yes! The admirable thing about him is, though, that he realized this situation would only get worse and so it had to stop. He had 2 options: 1. Give up being a dentist, close his practice, lay ALL staff off and cause them problems and throw his own family ...

It sounds like a classic case of 'blaming the victim.' She wore provocative clothes. So what? There didn't appear to be any official dress code. And then he pursued her in those text messages, which she did not respond to. She should have.... I tell you what I would have done. I would have sat down...

I agree, Hickersonia. I don't know what an at-will state is, but it happened in Iowa, in a dentists practice, so there must have been a proper work contract and she battled the reason for getting laid off. Surely it is sad she lost her job...but these assistants usually change a lot, at least where ...

I'm curious as to those who think that the correct decision here was made. Do you not see the problem with the Dentist sending the employee sexually suggestive texts? Does this not somewhat indicate to you that the story that the woman who was fired was simply wearing too tight dresses and refused ...

Goodness.

Would you want to pay your hard-earned money for dental treatments & oral surgery to a man, who is distracted by a cleavage and not able to do his best for you? You're assuming that he might do bad work because he is distracted. Maybe he enjoys working with pretty women so much that he is worki...
