Reviewing the blogs I've posted, it seems there is a theme - what is right and what is wrong - ethics.  I haven't delved much into the formal ethics taught in college of Socrates and Kant and others, although I think it is good that people study these thinkers.  I've just kind-of applied a mix of Western philosophy and Buddhist ethical thought, in a personal way coming down to where I think one should be and then explaining and defending that.

There are and will of course be blogs on other topics, but in the end I notice that they seem to almost always come down to our doing what is right.  I think life is mostly about that, and for sure happiness is.  (Oh, following traditional rules, even though they are presented as ethical rules, often causes unhappiness, but this is because (at least in the given situation) they are wrong and in our hearts if we are sensitive we know it).

So I'm going to change the title of this blog to something more specific and point out the general thrust.
