Re: Hello everyone.
Welcome new member, hope you enjoy it here.
Being on a Buddhist site, you have less judgment and are surrounded by never ending friendship
Since this is a forum site, there will be a few odd 2 trolls as they appear on all forum sites but just ignore them and report them to Ben.
Namaste

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.
