"The Second Arrow"

In my midnight perusing on the Internet, I found this intriguing statement:   "the second arrow" - Buddhists use this term to indicate  the pain of self-judgment compounding the pain of the actual experience.    So very human to wound oneself with the second arrow.

Drug culture

Did you see "Winter's Bone"?    Did you hope it was fiction?    Eighteen miles from my central Missouri home last week, a kindergartner brought a crack pipe and three bags of methamphetamine to school for
