enlightenment
education that results in understanding and the spread of knowledge. As morning rounds, I sit thinking of this important concept, enlightenment. Many people when faced with this word tend to think a variety of things. For some it is a period in history, others a window manager, or something more. But for the most part it is this concept that has brought quite a few of us here, whether we realize it or not. There are many here for whom the practice of enlightening is a rewarding and apreciated activity. But I came across a post that disturbed me, it manifested because of a misunderstanding and resulted in my thinking of this wonderful community, and how such a small and trivial post can actually effect it. The strength and momentum of the excelent knowledge base, and kind understanding attitude of all the people here cannot be interupted due to the fact that the flight of the arrow that is Perlmonks.* is true. But the fact remains that there are those who go astray, and attempt to harm the image of the monastery and the participants that work so hard to make it "The most friendly Perl community on the web", not realizing that they are "urinating in their own pond". So my meditation for this morning is to thank ALL of you for making this into something bigger than any individual, for making it into an environment that allows for such diversity and understanding that is hard to find. So through my meditaion I hope to help any who read this that may waiver in their understanding at any point, to remember what a beautiful community this is, and that we are all really lucky that people value this and work hard to develop it. Also that with effort we all can achive enlightenment So for that I thank you all! josh :) In reply to a moment of reflection by josh
