Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Once a man, like the sea I raged;
Once a woman, like the earth I gave;
And there is in fact more earth than sea.

How do Buddhist get along with people with different religions? For example you're a Buddhist and I'm a Taoist. We'll reacted differently because of our different belief systems.
Generally Buddhists are pretty laid back, though personally I struggle with monotheists, particularly the fundamentalists. I also get frustrated with new-age types!
