Grace is about style not substance:

Different people have differ perceptions of what is graceful and what is not but it is all about style, about you say or do something according to a plan or idea of what you deem graceful in which the graceful person is merely a robot using force to realize the plan of how to exit gracefully.

Thus when a person wants another to exit with grace, he wants the other person to exit with style using force according to a plan he deems graceful and because style is meaningless and stressful about the use of force according to a plan, he is incurring karma asking others to exit gracefully.

You have no right to ask others to exit with grace, exit with style that is meaningless, blind & stressful and requires he behaves like a robot according to a plan.

THUS THE PERSON WHO ASKS ANOTHER TO EXIT GRACEFULLY IS A FOOL HEAPING KARMA ON HIMSELF HE THINKS HE IS MERITORIOUS.

WIT TOO IS ABOUT STYLE AND NOTHING ABOUT SUBSTANCE. IN ORDER TO BE WITTY YOU SPEAK OR DO THINGS IN A WAY YOU THINK WILL STIR OTHERS’ EMOTIONS TO SMILE OR LAUGH OR LIKE IN A ‘FUNNY’ WAY WHAT YOU SAY OR DO.

Pope laments global instability:

When a person laments, he dislikes and is saddened by the state of something and that has nothing to do with reason or substance but it is just the repulsive stirring of his mental force to dislike and the unprotected prolonging of his mental force of going against self to experience sadness.

All the lamenting or stirring of mental force to dislike and be sad will not accomplish anything but it creates suffering in self and others.

Instead what is rational is to use reason to define exactly in what ways the world is unstable and in what ways that instability can be remedied by yourself or others. If the instability is irremediable, what is the use of lamenting except it is for show to impress others of your concern and to stir others to similarly foolishly lament.

Politics of unity in US:

Quote headline: Politics of unity in US, politics of division in Malaysia.

This is a naive false statement because even within the Democratic Party there is disunity and vested interest and the Republicans are on a leash when to pounce and sabotage the Democrats.

In the bailout of the car makers, it was the Republicans in the house who ‘torpedoed’ the deals because it was deemed to benefit the workers.

THUS ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO SELL OTHERS THE IDEA THAT IT IS SO GOOD IN THE US, POLITICS OF UNITY IN CONTRAST TO SO BAD HERE IS CREATING KARMA FOR HIMSELF MISLEADING OTHERS.

WHAT THE AUTHOR IS LIKELY TO SAY IS NOT WORTH READING.

The man who conned the world:

Quote headline: The man (Madoff) who conned the world.

This is a false headline. It may be the biggest fraud (50 billion) but he did not con the world but only some very rich investors who were greedy for his oversized returns.
Truth is not exotic, it is everyday and even simple things people do not understand. If he understands, how come he did not understand his statement to exaggerate, ‘the man who conned the world’ is false and how the newspaper permitted a false headline?

Substance is style:

Quote Honda ad for new City: Substance is style.

What he wanted to say was perhaps substance is stylish but even that is false.

Substance can be clearly defined as such and such and so can style be clearly defined. If substance is style you there will be no need to call it substance, if style is substance then there is no need to call it style.

Substance is whatever is said or done that may be true, false or nonsense.

Style is how something is said or done and that can only be how or the different ways people use force to stretch, change speed and strength even direction if possible in order to transmit force to stir force in others in the name of impressing, pleasing, intimidating and dominating.

There can be style in the substance of what is said and done and it is what is said or done that is false or nonsense rehashed according to plans stored in the person’s mental jukebox with the intention of impressing, pleasing, intimidating and dominating others.

Thus the person who says substance is style or stylish is speaking falsely, wanting others to embrace falsity and he is embracing insanity because to forcibly believe substance is style or stylish is mad.

If you use much force (and mental will is force) you can force yourself to increasingly believe or perceive what is false, substance is style is true and the end result of that is totally uncontrollably mad perception and you will weep and gnash your teeth when that happens.

Smiles and scowls in our genes:

Quote: The facial expressions we make to show or hide our emotions are hardwired into our brains, a study concludes.

This is a false statement even without examining the scientific evidence. It absolves the person of any responsibility for his facial expressions blaming his genes when it is the person who is totally responsible for his smiles and scowls that are both are never good but evil, harmful and stressful to self and others.

It reflects how deluded scientists are, how false their perception has become when they can blame genes for conduct (facial expressions) that are harmful, manipulative.

The truth may be that as a result of incessantly forcing oneself to smile and scowl, the urge to do so becomes overwhelming, the person cannot now resist smiling and scowling that are even etched into his face and his mind may be permanently warped to smile and scowl and not to smile for a person with the urge to smile and not to scowl for a person with a well developed urge to scowl is near impossible.

THUS, FIRST YOU FORCE YOURSELF TO SMILE OR SCOWL TO PLEASE, IMPRESS OR INTIMIDATE OTHERS BUT IN TIME YOU ARE FORCED BY CONDITIONING TO DO SO SUCH THAT THE SMILE OR SCOWL IS PERMANENTLY ETCHED INTO YOUR FACE, NOT GENES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR SMILES AND SCOWLS.

THE CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE IS THAT IF IT IS DUE TO GENES, YOU CANNOT HELP IT AND YOU ARE BLAMELESS BUT IF IT IS DUE TO CONDITIONING, HOWEVER DIFFICULT, IT CAN BE DE-CONDITIONED AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE MORALLY FOR YOUR SMILES AND SCOWLS IF IT HARMS OTHERS AND YOURSELF.

Boom year for hi tech criminals:

The person who speaks thus is speaking carelessly and therefore falsely to generate conflict in himself and others.

‘Boom’ is associated with likeable conditions and it cannot be a boom year for criminals but it is a record year for hi tech criminals. Whether you are realize or not but by describing record criminality as a boom you are stirring conflict that what is bad (criminality) is good (boom).

BOOM HAS CONNOTATION OF WHAT IS DESIRABLE AND RECORD CRIMINALITY CANNOT BE LIKEABLE AND SO YOU ARE MISCHIEVOUS TO DESCRIBE RECORD CRIMINALITY AS A BOOM.

Thiamine reverses kidney damage:

Whatever effect thiamine has is marginal (and maybe even nonexistent or a figment of the imagination.

If you do not want to suffer from kidney failure, make sure you are genuinely virtuous, you do not call record criminality a boom, otherwise no matter how much thiamine you take it will never prevent kidney failure.

KIDNEY FAILURE IS ALWAYS SUFFERING AND IT IS NEVER BLAMELESS BUT DIRECTLY LINK TO THE PERSON’S ABUSE OF SELF AND OTHERS AND IN THIS EQUATION, THIAMINE’S EFFECT IS MARGINAL IF NOT NONEXISTENT.

The highest gift:

Different people have different definitions of what would be the supreme gift. Below the Buddha states his definition of the supreme gift.

There are three factors related to the giver and three factors dependent on the recipient. When all six factors are fulfilled the gift is the highest gift and results in the highest reward.

The three factors related to the giver is that he should give without regret or holding back but be pleased and delighted to give before, during and after the act.

The three factors dependent on the recipient is that he should be freed from greed, hate and delusion. Thus a gift given to a noble person results in much higher reward compared to a gift to sinful people.

 

Here, bhikkhus, there are three factors to the giver and three factors to the acceptor. Bhikkhus, what are the three factors of the giver? Even before giving the giver has a pleasant mind, while giving the mind is pleased and having given the mind is pleased. These are the three factors of the giver. What are the three factors of the acceptor? Here bhikkhus the acceptor is free of greed, free of anger and free of delusion. Bhikkhus, these are the three factors of the acceptor. Bhikkhus, thus it becomes a gift endowed with six factors.

Bhikkhus, it is not easy to account for the merits of a gift endowed with these six factors as, it is a yield of merit, a yield of good, a bringer of pleasantness and heavenly bliss that is conducive to agreeability and pleasantness of such a measure. It becomes a mass of pleasantness that is immeasurable. As the water in the great ocean cannot be measured as it is a hundred vessels full of water, or a thousand vessels full of water or a hundred thousand vessels full of water, yet it becomes a mass of water that is immeasurable. In the same manner bhikkhus, it is not easy to account for the merits of a gift endowed with these six factors as, it is a yield of merit, a yield of good, a bringer of pleasantness and heavenly bliss that is conducive to agreeability and pleasantness of such a measure. It becomes a mass of pleasantness that is immeasurable.

Even before giving the mind is pleased, while giving is pleased,

Having given is pleased, this is the accomplishment in giving a gift.

The restrained, leading a holy life, free of greed, hate and delusion

Are the field for offering gifts.

By oneself cooked and offering with one's own hands

One's belongings offered to others is of great fruit.

The wise offering with faith and released mind

Are reborn in a world of pleasantness without troubles
