It certainly can help my patience
Yes, on occasion exactly what I do. Helps when I wonder where someone is posting from!
No matter how much I smoke I still don't understand why members can't put their location in their profiles!
I’ve never found compassion in smoking my pipe. I find compassion in not being an asshole 86.3% of the time.
Where do you post that 86.3% of the time?
How's that working for you? LOL If you discover the secret sauce, please share it with me.
The trick is staying off social media
It is definitely fractional math.
Hmmm. I don't think of pipe smoking as a way to evoke compassion. The pause and contemplation aspect might occasionally bring compassionate thoughts. I recently found myself getting set off by too many minor mishaps and disappointments, and though I hated the idea, just wanting to do better, I went back to decaf coffee, and it really reduced the incidences of tantrums. So sometimes our legal drugs do affect our emotional reactions. If pipe smoking leads to contemplation, that might lead to compassion, I suppose.
No. Most of the times, I contemplate how to take over the planet with carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.. One bowl at a time!
That's a very off the wall theory for smoking a pipe. Sounds very personal and if that brings on your compassion, keep on smoking.....? and chain smoke at that. We certainly can use more compassion everywhere.
I don't need to smoke a pipe to be compassionate...... OR MAYBE I DO! ???

Stalin smoked a pipe you know. I wonder how that worked with the 'compassion' thing. Years ago we had a poster on here who was a Stalin fan and loved Royal Yacht so I guess he had the full set going for him. I don't smoke a pipe to find 'compassion' but to ponder some of the inner mysteries that make up our universe. Things like how do we get 'belly button fluff' and is our path to inner enlightenment blocked up with great wads of the stuff. Should we found a religion around glass naval plugs that prevent 'fluff' build up. Can you smoke it? As for 'compassion' I find this world in which we live is two drinks behind the rest of solar system!
No. His cousin, Joe Stalin.
No. Froderick Stalin and was an unlicensed Bohemian phrenologist from Brooklyn, New York!
Could this be a G.K. Chesterton thing ?
Sorry, I haven't read any of the Harry Pottery books nor seen the films.
