Question and answers

Was I losing my compassion? I think no...

Here I can be less defensive as a baseline because again and again I find genuine warmth and openness. Here there is no misguided belief that tourists possess money trees nor merchants trying to extract ridiculous amounts from the foreigners ad nauseum. Here people share information, advice, food, and time, and I do the same. Here is a warmth of character and love and celebration of life. Here I feel joyful and inner peaceful with the knowing that even when I am struggling, all are pieces in myself.
