Morose musings

Is it possible to change a fundamental part of your nature? And to do so without breaking the parts of you you want to keep? It's the ultimate paradox of studying Zen (which I do now and then, in a so far fruitless attempt to change) - to want to stop wanting.

I can be aggressive and passionate. This is a good thing when I'm job hunting or working for a charity. It's not so good when I keep trying to "win" existential arguments. Am trying to keep thinks proportionate.
