Maintain this Buddhist Wish of Noble Sympathy:

May I be happy, may I maintain my happiness and live without any trace of enmity.
May all beings be successful and happy: May they be of joyful mind, all beings that
breathe & have life, whether they are weak or strong, tiny or huge, visible or invisible,
near or far away, born or to be born, let all beings enjoy safety, content ease & bliss!
Let no one deceive another, let no one be harsh in speech, let no one by anger or hatred
wish bad for his neighbour. Even as a mother, at the risk of her life, guards and protects
her only child, so with a boundless heart of compassion, I venerate all living beings by
permeating this entire universe with sympathy, above, beneath & all around, without limit,
immeasurable and endless! Thus I cultivate an infinite goodwill toward this whole world.
Standing or walking, sitting or lying down, during all my waking hours I treasure always
this thought, knowing that this very way of caring is the Noblest in the whole wide world!
Thus shall I, by stilling pointless discussions and controversies, by acting blamelessly,
be gifted with tranquillity & true insight. Thus shall I subdue the urge for sense-pleasure,
and never again know rebirth. May this also inspire and thereby cause all other sentient
beings to fulfil the conditions leading swiftly to Nibbāna.
May all sentient beings be thus utterly liberated & completely released from suffering.
May all sentient beings thus escape the dangers of ageing, disease, and death. Yeah!

11:56 am - Lost lost me
lizzy


Okay, it's final, it's done, Lost lost me.
Yesterday I watched episodes 2 and 3 and while I could follow epi 2 I could not comprehend anything from epi 3.
It is the time-travel-thing I just can't grasp. There is no logic behind it anymore. And we are logically thinking people.
At least I am. The time-travel is just too abstract and bizarre for me. I could understand it if they would have used the remote viewing way of time-traveling. But this fast for-wind and re-wind thing I just can't follow. The idea is brilliant but the way they show it is just to flashy, messy and sloppy. If they wanted to use the quantum mechanic theory, they at least have to show it to their public in a way everybody understands what that means and what it is doing with our heroes. They could have done that pretty easily by showing something like "Two years earlier", or "30 years later"  or at least  use a symbol like a clock that turns back or forwards in one of the corners of the screen. Then we would know what was going on and try to understand. Now they just lose fans who gave up, because they, like me, could not understand what we were seeing.
I felt very disappointed and angry too. Because they are not taking the wonderful opportunity to develop the character of Sayid (and a few other losties who I feel lost out on this too). They could have done so many wonderful things with Sayid, but instead they use him as a villain, like a Iraqi is not worth more than just be a hit man, a stone cold murderer, which we all know he is not! He had so much potential in the first 2 seasons, but somehow the makers lost their own view about so much more then just our hero.
I have this strong urge not to watch the rest of this season unless Sayid is in it.
Tell me your opinions please.
