# A Carification About A Consternation

Some one I trust just reminded me that teaching prematurely is a trap.  I told him as I have told you in the past; I am not a teacher.  What I write here and present to you are my own thoughts backed up solely by my own understanding and reasoning.  I am not now, nor will I ever be a true teacher of the Dharma or anything else for that matter.

I am someone who likes to discuss subjects of interest to me, and that will not stop.  As I say many times in many posts, I am no authority, these are just my thoughts.

I have a hard enough time living my own life by a standard I am happy with, much less asking anyone to follow my words or actions.

Any way, I just wanted to make sure any one who read my words knew that I in no way am trying to present my self as a teacher of any kind.

Peace,

Matt
