  As the year draws to a close, it's that wonderful time when families come together. We went to the airport to pick my daughter, Akina coming home from New York to spend the Christmas break. We went to the Heathrow airport on time, but she was late to come out because her airline somehow took two hours to locate the luggage of her entire flight due to some miscoordination in luggage collection. The waiting time was a good opportunity for me to have a chat with my 17 year old son, Seth about how things are going with him. He suddenly showed his phone, and asked if I knew a Buddhist monk who is quite popular in TikTok. I said yes because he shares short and useful quotes. I asked if Seth found those quotes useful. He said, mostly yes, but there are things that he cannot quite agree or understand. When asked for an example, he quoted a TikTok about forgiveness . I thought it was a great topic to discuss while waiting.   Seth has had some bad experiences wit
