First off I do not think there is a right answer or a wrong answer, also I am not fishing for a certain answer, just want some peoples views on the subjects.

1) NON-Self. This confuses me some what. I mean I know I see the world through my mind and base it on my experiences right? I also think that every thing changes even me, my mind, thoughts and “soul” if you will. Just like energy cannot be destroyed it can only be transformed, I think that’s the same with the “soul”. Ideas, beliefs?

2) How to stop craving for things. How to do daily things to fallow the third noble truth. I have trouble with this one because I always want things, whither it be friends or something in my personal life like craving to read more or to be able to lift heaver weights at the gym. Or material like cars, I have a odd running shoe addiction lots of running shoes but I can only run in one pair, clothes or parts for my car.

3) Finally I have a question on relationships. Not so much the relationship part but the attachment part, attachment causes suffering, I don't think I have been in a healthy relationship ever but I don’t know how to be with someone Romantic and not be attached. I have read that the Buddha said friends are something like the whole of holy life, but also that someone said that if one has a friend in their spiritual practice then fallow them to the end, if not that's okay too. Honestly I'm happiest when alone, far away from others. But at times I would like to be close to someone again, but in my last romantic relationship I kept thinking that it was causing me to suffer because I was attached to someone. Ideas?

I have plenty more questions, I just can form them into short questions very well. Sorry if they drag on.
