Chis, thank you for your reply, and i apologize for waiting this long to respond to it.
First of all, i wish i can point you to a certain book about Buddhism or Chinese philosophy, but I can't. Not yet anyway. Most of the things I learned so far came from bits and pieces of stories and teachings I discovered between different sources. I will be taking a class in eastern philosophy pretty soon, so hopefully that class will provide me a few titles to share with everyone.
I think my mistake here was putting too much information in one thread. That made it too overwhelming for everyone, including me and you, to read. I was just so excited about all these I had to share it all at once. These points may seem different, maybe random at times, but to me, they all came from the same source: My observation of life. At this stage, I don't want to restrict myself too much by forming one big theory out of all these observations. I just want to be able to think freely about all kinds of things, make random observations, and organize them when I am ready. So, I apologize if they make no sense.
I will be a little better, and shorter, next time ;-).
It is my wish that someday I will find people to talk to and debate about this all the time, but that remains a wish and not reality at the moment. Maybe I am just too odd for an engineering student... Oh well. That would explain why I am taking ballroom dancing lessons too ;-).
