One of the paradoxes of Buddhism is that while the philosophy seems to deconstruct sense of a personal self, many Buddhists spend a lot of time on what could be called narcissistic contemplation without much thought for others.
Probably because of my early life as a nuisance at an extremely stressed time, I have had two personas dogging me. One is loud and showy and talkative, the other craves anonymity. When the Rochi expressed surprise at some of my silly accomplishments, I was surprised. I thought she must have known that I am creative and energetic in my personal life.
Should I blow my own trumpet more? Should I shriek for recognition? Should I work on Myself more? No. But I would like the few people I admire to know me a little better........ How can I do that? I'll leave it lie.
