Default Another observation
I've been doing Buddhanet's Metta meditation for a while now and something strange happened today. I was reading a crime story on the website of a local newspaper. They allow pople to comment on stories and there is usually a lot of very right wing comments on such stories. I was reading some of the hostile comments towards the young man involved in the crime and instead of feeling angry at them the same feelings I get while doing Metta meditation rose up inside me. It didn't last that long and wasn't very strong, but it was a wonderful experience. It was nice to feel Metta towards people whose opinions I don't agree with. I think I'll have to put a bit more effort into this practice.
