I work at a telephone answering service and am forced to say "Thank you for calling" to hundreds of people each shift that I'm not very thankful about. Someone at work dared me just once to pick up the phone and say "F_ck you for calling" instead, just to see if they were paying attention. If there really were an Honesty Day, I think I might have the guts to try it out! Thanks for the laugh! You’re right, this made me laugh out loud.

It is basically seeing things the way they really are without trying to make them anything other than they are. Equanimity helps the mind stay in balance so it doesn't become attached. None of this is worth holding on to or making personal. So it isn't that you should feel good or bad. Not really indifferent either. It does take practice but I've found it to be well worth the effort. Kris Hi Tony,

What you’ve described seems to be a great opportunity to practice equanimity. It is basically seeing things the way they really are without trying to make them anything other than they are. Equanimity helps the mind stay in balance so it doesn’t become attached. None of this is worth holding on to or making personal.

Still , he doesnt seem to be hurting for campaign money and it may make him a better candidate. It worries me that he cant put her away at this late stage.
