I'm such a researcher.
I was planning on reading Watchmen on my lunch break today but I left it at home. And instead of the Sun-Times or the new Advocate, I decided to eat my lunch while reading online articles on cognitive-behavior therapy. Uh, yeah. For my own future reference (and others if they're so inclined). Some of them are just okay, but I think they have one or two beneficial insights or suggestions.
An article on irrational jealousy
the therapist calls her out pretty well; and breaking patterns.
most thorough of the 3 -- managing jealousy in open relationships
I also want to remember this:
Enlightenment--that magnificent escape from anguish and ignorance--never happens by accident. It results from the brave and sometimes lonely battle of one person against his own weaknesses.
-Bhikkhu Nyanasobhano, "Landscapes of Wonder"
And several times I keep remembering I have a dog. It seems so weird sometimes that it happened so suddenly yet feels like it's been happening for awhile. I occasionally feel odd when I realize I'm responsible for this small creature who runs around on four legs and has marked me as a companion to follow.
I'm sure it's strange that I'm blending emotional psychological state with Buddhism and dog ownership, but you know what? It all works out in my head.
