Buddhist Kohn

"I think human beings are poised between two terrors. One is to be known and the other is not to be known. And each of them presents real fear, there is a sense of horrible loneliness, of being completely bereft if you are never really known - not the face that you present, but who you really are. On the other hand, there are times in which the idea of being known, at least by certain people, is equally frightening. The vulnerability it implies is also scary." - Katherine Harrison

On Christmas, my brother told a lynching joke about our president, as told to him from someone in (surprise) Tennessee. Buddhist kohn.
