Attitudes are different, the mindset of the average westerner is very different. <br /><br />Jaded, yes probably many are myself included. Soulless...only your average Wallstreet tycoon or GOPer! Misanthropic may go a tad too far though and as for creatures...well aren't we all? <br /><br />All I know for sure is that when I spend time in Dhasa surrounded by Tibetan friends it is a vastly different and more heartening experience than here in the west. No insult meant to anyone.

However, I don't think I'd go so far as to say "soulless, jaded, misanthropic creatures"!! Jaded maybe... ha ha haRebe Kungahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587383271885579860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9118508170644164868.post-5447556314071795922014-02-14T13:16:33.484-08:002014-02-14T13:16:33.484-08:00Excellent, poignant write up by Rebecca Orton.

I can only wish you best of luck in your future endeavours. <br /><br />Bit of that last line, ".....something unfathomable, something wild, and raw and more real than anything you will find at home." <br /><br />More Real? As a Tibetan who calls the West his home, who love the West, your quote is bit insulting, it's as if you are insinuating that people in the West are soulless, jaded, misanthropic creatures who can only fake it...<br /><br /> Anyway, you may be right, or maybe, you are right because of the company you keep. lol Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
