Panache & glitter to their bash:
Quote: MACALLUM Street Ghaut residents not only ushered in the New Year a day earlier but they also managed to rope in Hong Kong celebrity Bosco Wong to add panache and glitter to their bash.
Comment: Panache is about how a person does something or something is done that is seen as attractive or ‘wows’ and glitter is about how something has the appearance eg sparkling sequins that attracts or stirs mental force. Thus the person is talking about the stirring of blind meaningless mental force in himself and others regarding the appearance of a HK celebrity, it (panache and glitter) is food that does not last and he and those predisposed are headed for perishing.
To call a party or function a bash is to be insouciant, speaking in a haughty, deprecatory manner that is never the way to heaven but perdition.
THERE IS A STYLE IN THE SUBSTANCE OF WHAT HE SAID AND IT IS INTENDED TO IMPRESS OTHERS HOW IMPRESSIVE, CONFIDENT AND ‘WITH IT’ HE IS. WHAT IS SAID IS ACTUALLY MEANINGLESS, ALL ABOUT STIRRING FORCE THAT IS BLIND, HARMFUL AND MEANINGLESS.
Entrepreneur Sir David Tang on the risks of pessimism
Comment: Optimism or pessimism are opposite false forceful states of mind not reality and so anyone who advises others to be optimistic whilst warning of the dangers of pessimism is deluded, does not know what he is talking about and creating karma for himself.
You should neither be optimistic or pessimistic about anything but to see and know the true state of your situation and act accordingly.
If the situation is ‘dire’ and you are optimistic, you are denying reality and engaging in make belief that may negatively affect your correct response to the situation. If you were pessimistic you risk exaggerating your responses again to your detriment.
ANY SITUATION NO MATTER HOW DIRE OR JOYFUL IS NEITHER OPTIMISTIC NOR PESSIMISTIC BUT OPTIMISM OR PESSIMISM ARE FALSE FABRICATED ARTIFICIAL EMOTIONAL (NOT REASONED) STATES OF THE MIND THAT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN LEAD TO UNDERESTIMATED AND OVERESTIMATED RESPONSES. THUS THE PERSON WHO WARNS OF PESSIMISM BUT ADVICES OPTIMISM IS HIMSELF A FOOL WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOOD FOR HIM LET ALONE OTHERS.
A force response to a situation:
Optimism or pessimism is never a reasoned specific to the occasion response but they are a forced, nonspecific or generalized reaction to a situation that is rehashed again and again to face new situations.
When you are optimistic, you wilfully or forcefully downplay the gravity of a situation and are thus denying and will yourself to believe there is better in store when you have no reason to believe so.
When you are pessimistic, you use force to aggravate the gravity of the situation and that too is denial of reality that is conditioning and leads to a disastrous overreaction (eg suicide).
If you speak of optimism or pessimism you should know what you are talking about otherwise you are a fool who does not know what he speaks. Optimism and pessimism are rehashed (robotic) forceful or force based reaction to situations, not based on genuine reason and because it is based on force, it is blind, dangerous, meaningless and apart from being suffering, conditions to suffering and lead to dangerous false responses.
Pessimism is the natural reaction:
Pessimism is the natural reaction of emotional people to a crisis or negative event because their mental forces are automatically stirred to dislike, hurt and be sad and that is the drive for pessimism or despair.
Optimism in the face of despair or a negative situation is a wilful denial of reality, using force to drive out dislike, sadness and hurt and it stirs conflict that is stressful and is foolish, is lying to yourself and others.
PESSIMISM THOUGH HARMFUL, IS THE NATURAL REACTION OF PEOPLE TO NEGATIVE EVENTS AND OPTIMISM IS THE EVEN MORE PERVERSE LYING ATTEMPT TO INSTIL A FALSE REALITY THAT WHAT IS PAINFUL IS PLEASURABLE.
If people are cheerful they do not need you to tell them to cheer up and it is because they are unhappy that you need to tell them to cheer up. Because unhappiness is a forceful mental state, you are telling them to deny and use force to banish their unhappy state to artificially instil and act out a cheerful state and that is dicing with insanity.
IT IS BECAUSE A PERSON IS A FOOLISH SLAVE OF MENTAL FORCE, LIKES AND DISLIKES, USES FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT HE PERIODICALLY COMES TO THE STATE OF PESSIMISM WHEN FACED WITH NEGATIVE EVENTS.
BY THE TIME HE EXPERIENCES PESSIMISM IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE TO OVERCOME IT AND IT MUST BE ALLOWED TO RUN ITS DANGEROUS CONDITIONING COURSE.
SO LONG AS THE PERSON WILL NOT ABANDON LIKE AND DISLIKE, WILL NOT ABANDON USING FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS HE WILL NEVER SEE AN END TO PESSIMISM THAT IS NOT ONLY SUFFERING BUT ADDICTIVE OR CONDITIONING AND HE IS HEADED FOR MAD PERSSIMISM.
Sadness and hurt is the cause of pessimism:
Sadness and hurt that cannot be resolved, because the cause of the sadness and hurt persists, is the cause of pessimism.
Because the cause of pessimism is sadness and hurt, the cure (if possible) is the elimination of that cause of the sadness and hurt. If it is not possible to eliminate the cause of that sadness and hurt, you have false logic and perception to believe you can otherwise, without eliminating the cause of sadness and hurt, cure your pessimism by wilfully stirring up optimism.
ONLY THE ELIMINATION OF THE CAUSE OF SOMETHING CAN CURE SOMETHING. THUS IF SADNESS AND HURT IS CAUSED BY SOMETHING AND THEY LEAD TO PESSIMISM THEN THE TRUE CURE OF PESSIMISM IS NEVER TO WILFULLY INSTIL OPTIMISM BUT TO ELIMINATE THE CAUSE TO THAT SADNESS AND HURT THAT LED TO PESSIMISM.
BECAUSE IN MOST IF NOT ALL CASES THE CAUSES OF THAT SADNESS AND HURT THAT LED TO PESSIMISM IS IMMOVABLE (OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT HAVE LED TO PESSIMISM OR DESPAIR), THERE IS NO CURE FOR PESSIMISM IN MOST CASES, THE PERSON MUST SUFFER FROM PESSIMISM THAT IS NOT ONLY SUFFERING BUT CONDITIONS. WITH TIME THE PESSIMISM WILL FADE BUT ITS TOLL WILL BE IMPRINTED IN THAT MIND AND THE PERSON IS HEADED FOR SORROW AND INSANITY.
THE ONLY TRUE CURE FOR PESSIMISM IS TO ABANDON ALL USE OF FORCE TO LIKE OR DISLIKE OR FASHION STYLE, NAMELY DO NOT STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT LEADS TO SADNESS AND HURT THAT LEADS TO PESSIMISM THAT IS SUFFERING AND CONDITIONING AND WILL END IN INSANITY. TO WILFULLY BE OPTIMISTIC IN THE FACE OF PESSIMISM IS THE WRONG SOLUTION THAT COMPOUNDS THE PROBLEM AND WILL LEAD TO EVEN GREATER SORROW AND SO THE PERSON WHO ASKS OTHERS TO CHEER UP, BE OPTIMISTIC IS ASKING FOR GRAVE KARMA.
No woman no cry:
This is the title of a song and it is conveying that women is the source of sorrow and therefore no women no sorry but it is a false misleading message.
There are many sources of sorrow in this world like sons, possessions, fame, etc. Therefore just because you have no woman does not mean ‘no cry’ and it is false to say that if you just have no woman you will not cry.
IT MAY BE TRUE THAT ASSOCIATING WITH A WOMAN LEADS TO CRYING BUT IT IS NOT TRUE AND THEREFORE FALSE THAT NO WOMAN NO CRY.
A rule not genuine reasoning:
‘No woman no cry’ is a rule to be memorized and rehashed to fit occasions and it is a false generalization. Whilst most even all women here are a source of heartache because they are manipulative dishonest people, it is not necessarily that females cause crying, the female angels in heaven may not be a cause of heartache and so what is said is false and a rule that is indiscriminate.
THUS IT IS THAT EMOTIONAL PEOPLE LIKE TO THINK THEY CAN REASON AND UNDERSTAND BUT WHAT THEY SUBSCRIBE TO ARE RULES OR PROGRAMED OR COMMAND COMPUTER LOGIC AND THEY ARE THUS ROBOTS WHO ARE SLAVES TO RULES NOT GENUINELY REASONING BEINGS.
Dispassion is the highest quality:
You may dispute, you think God may dispute and the Buddha is a mere man but the Buddha says he is supreme and faith in the supreme confers supreme result for the faithful.
Similarly dispassion or the abolishment of all emotion is the highest of quality a person can endow himself.
Dispassion or the cessation of the incessant use of force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness that is the dynamo that leads to like, dislike, sadness, hurt and fear is what I preach that is in line with what the Buddha preached.
This was said by the Blessed One: "There are these three supreme objects of confidence. Which three?
"Among whatever beings there may be -- footless, two-footed, four-footed, many footed; with form or formless; percipient, non-percipient, neither percipient nor non-percipient -- the Tathagata, worthy & rightly self-awakened, is considered supreme. Those who have confidence in the Awakened One have confidence in what is supreme; and for those with confidence in the supreme, supreme is the result.
"Among whatever qualities there may be, fabricated or unfabricated, the quality of dispassion -- the subduing of intoxication, the elimination of thirst, the uprooting of attachment, the breaking of the round, the destruction of craving, dispassion, cessation, the realization of Unbinding -- is considered supreme. Those who have confidence in the quality of dispassion have confidence in what is supreme; and for those with confidence in the supreme, supreme is the result.
"Among whatever fabricated qualities there may be, the Noble Eightfold Path -- right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration -- is considered supreme. Those who have confidence in the Noble Eightfold Path have confidence in what is supreme; and for those with confidence in the supreme, supreme is the result.
"Among whatever communities or groups there may be, the Sangha of the Tathagata's disciples is considered supreme -- i.e., the four [groups of noble disciples] when taken as pairs, the eight when taken as persons.* Those who have confidence in the Sangha have confidence in what is supreme; and for those with confidence in the supreme, supreme will be the result.
"These, monks, are the three supreme objects of confidence."
A gift of the dharma is supreme:
The Buddha says that compared to material gifts, a gift of the dharma is supreme.
The reason is obvious. Any gift of food will sustain you for awhile and does not alleviate your mental suffering or send you to heaven. Any other material gifts like shelter will only sustain you for this life.
The dharma is not usually obtainable in this world and when successfully understood it leads to heaven and even eternal life and so it is a supreme gift.
This was said by the Blessed One: "There are these two kinds of gifts: a gift of material things & a gift of the Dhamma. Of the two, this is supreme: a gift of the Dhamma. There are these two kinds of sharing: sharing of material things & sharing of the Dhamma. Of the two, this is supreme: sharing of the Dhamma. There are these two kinds of assistance: assistance with material things & assistance with the Dhamma. Of the two, this is supreme: help with the Dhamma."
This is a headline for an article by Raja Petra who is supposed to be very spiritual, a devout Muslim and he does not realize he is speaking mischievously and falsely, he has no right to say what he said that has karma not merit.
In his mind, the state of the nation is so parlous that there should not be any celebration of the New Year but it is not true the party has been cancelled and so he is speaking falsely misleading others or manipulating reality.
He has no authority to cancel the party and it has not been cancelled and so as a man of truth, he cannot say that.
Should be not has been cancelled:
Exactly which party you are referring to that has been cancelled should be known by you and if it is a national party that you have no power to cancel, has not been cancelled, you are speaking falsely to say it has been cancelled. You have a right to say it should be cancelled, not has been cancelled.
Rashid’s temerity:
Outgoing election commission chairman, Rashid had the temerity to suggest he may sue opposition leaders for besmirching his good name when he himself admitted serious wrongdoing.
He admitted in dialogue with opposition leaders that he cannot abolish the postal vote because without it, many ministers would have lost. The postal vote which is outdated because most military personnel are nowadays not in the jungles fighting communists but in barracks and can personally vote though small (?300,000) is crucial because the ruling party takes it on their prerogative to distribute to whichever seat requires topping up until they win by a slim margin.
According to Raja Petra, without this postal vote, the opposition could have won the last general elections.
RASHID SHOULD KNOW WHAT HE HAS DONE, IT IS NOT HIS JOB TO SHORE UP THE BN BY DISTRIBUTING POSTAL VOTES TO SWING THE ELECTION AND IF DESPITE THIS HE THINKS HE HAS BEEN SLANDERED BY THE OPPOSITION SUCH THAT HE NEEDS TO SUE TO RESTORE HIS GOOD NAME, HE IS ASKING FOR SERIOUS KARMA.
Impossible but possible:
It is impossible for all ordinary people in this world not to suffer from stress, restlessness, inability to concentrate, sadness, hurt and fear because they all have style or use force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness that have equivalents in their motions, thoughts and even perception (seeing and hearing) and because they (stress, restlessness, distraction, sadness, hurt and fear) are suffering and distressing they must seek to counter and remedy by various means like exercise, health food, yoga, tai chi, meditation, religion, etc but all these are useless and add to the stress they suffer because only the elimination of the cause can cause a permanent effortless cure of the suffering.
THUS IN ORDER FOR A BEING TO FIND PERMANENT EFFORTLESS RELEASE FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR, HE MUST PAY ATTENTION TO PERSISTENTLY IDENTIFY AND ELIMINATE ANY STRETCHING OF HIS SYLLABLES, CHANGES OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS AND AS SOON AS HE FINALLY HAS STOPPED DOING SO HE WILL EXPERIENCE A JOYFUL EFFORTLESS RELEASE FROM ALL SUFFERING (STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR.
WITHOUT PUTTING AN END TO STRETCHING SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS YOU CANNOT PUT AN END TO YOUR REGULARLY RECURRING STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR AND TO FIND REDRESS ELSEWHERE (SPORTS, YOGA, TAI CHI, MUSIC, ETC) IS NOT ONLY FRUITLESS VEXATIONS BUT PRACTICING CONTROLLED MADNESS THAT WILL END IN UNCONTROLLED MADNESS.
If you are stretching your syllables, changing in speed and loudness all the time, even when you speak softly and slowly and you cannot see it, you are a fool who does not know what he is doing and nothing can be done for you.
If you find style or stretching syllables, changing speed and loudness meaningful and necessary then if they lead to stress, restlessness, distraction, sadness, hurt and fear then that is what you wish for yourself and they may be yours for even another eternity and more.
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON WHO SUFFERS FROM STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR TO PERMANENTLY EFFORTLESSLY EXIT THEM IF HE SUCCESSFULLY IDENTIFIES AND ELIMINATES ALL STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES OF SPEED AND LOUDNESS (AS THERE IS) IN HIS SPEECH THAT IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF HIS SUFFERING.
NO ONE BEFORE AND NOW WILL TEACH YOU THIS AND IF YOU FAIL TO TAKE HEED AND CORRECT YOURSELF YOU MAY BE ASSIGNING YOURSELF TO ANOTHER ETERNITY OF TORMENT BECAUSE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION, SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR ARE BLIND AND TORMENTING.
You want suffering and will get it:
No matter how wise or good you think you are, whether you realize it or not, if you stretch your syllables, change speed and loudness (the way of this world) then you want suffering (stress, restlessness, distraction, sadness, hurt, fear) for yourself and others and what you want you will get even for an eternity because you will return to this world not to enjoy yourself because nobody here enjoys himself but they are all faking it, to be tormented to death, suicide and homicide, again and again building a pile of skeletons the Buddha said is as high as a mountain over an eon.
ANYONE WHO HAS STYLE OR USES FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS WANTS SUFFERING FOR HIMSELF AND OTHERS NO MATTER HOW HE MAY DENY IT AND HE IS HEADED FOR MORE, FAR MORE THAN HE EVER DREAMT POSSIBLE AND THAT WILL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF HIS TEETH.
‘Up for grabs’ versus ‘available’:
Anyone who speaks of ‘250 vouchers up for grabs’ instead of ‘250 vouchers available’ is using force, inciting force and headed for torment.
It is not a different correct way of speaking but it is a styled way with the intention of stirring force in self and others because you need force to grab.
You have false perception that will end in mad perception if you think just because there are vouchers available, it is up for grabs.
THE TRUTH IS 250 VOUCHERS ARE AVAILABLE, THEY ARE NOT UP FOR GRABS AND YOU HAVE FALSE PERCEPTION TO PERCEIVE THEM AS UP FOR GRABS.
Non Hokkien speaker wins Hokkien song contest:
Lau Wan Yin does not speak Hokkien but she beat 49 others to win an international Taiwanese singing competition that was held using the Chinese dialect.
It is not amazing but learning to speak or sing Hokkien does not require understanding but it requires good copying, good perception or hearing to then memorize and render in which understanding has nothing to do with it.
If you think understanding is required for someone who does not know a word of Hokkien to sing successfully in Hokkien you may be right or deluded.
What is required is association. Many Indians are able to tell the ‘Ba Kut Teh’ seller they want ‘Bak Kut Teh’ without knowing that it means ‘meat bone tea’. They (Indians) know the dish they want is ‘bak kut teh’, memorize it, retrieve it to utter it without knowing what it means and ‘wah lau’ they get their dish served to them by the hawker who also understands ‘ba kut teh’ stands for a certain dish he makes.
It is all rote perception-memorizing, retrieving and association of certain groups of sounds with certain objects or deeds with no understanding needed.
IT IS ONLY POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT SPEAK HOKKIEN TO WIN A HOKKIEN SINGING CONTEST IF SHE SINGS IT WITHOUT ANY UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT SHE SINGS AND IT IS MERELY A PROCESS OF PERCEPTION, MEMORIZATION AND REHASHING.
Earthquake rattles Afghanistan:
Can you see the earthquake rattling Afghanistan or Afghanistan being rattled by the earthquake? If not then you are imagining things and want others to similarly falsely imagine that is false perception that leads to future mad perception.
Earthquake strikes Afghanistan or has occurred in Afghanistan is what a let his yes be yes only person will say. No fabrication or imagining is involved and he is headed for safety.
No news is good news?
Quote: No news from big companies is good news
Comment: The person is exercising false logic that will lead to mad logic and he is conditioning others to false logic too.
No news is just no news, it is neither good nor bad and to conclude that no news is good news is false logic and perception.
Big companies do not necessarily have to come clean about the bad state of their finances and often, for fear of ‘upsetting the market’ or triggering a run on their companies, they try to remain silent on bad news until it is inevitable, they must reveal them or they are forced by law to reveal.
Thus just because big companies remain silent does not mean it is good news, it could be bad news being held back and the person who has such false logic cannot be trusted to reason truly elsewhere.
Fabrications are not the same:
The Buddha said that from ignorance as a requisite comes fabrications, not consciousness or this world or the sensory media and from the cessation of ignorance (enlightenment) comes the cessation of all fabricating.
You may think what the Buddha says is conjecture, has been debunked by science (we, modern minds know better) but it may be the truth and applies to all beings trapped (painfully and falsely) in existence, not endowed blissfully and truly with existence.
ALL BEINGS FROM THE LOFTIEST BRAHMAS TO THE LOW WORMS AND INSECTS ARE TRAPPED IN IGNORANCE AND FOOLISHNESS IN EXISTENCE THAT IS ALWAYS FALSE, FRAUGHT WITH DANGERS (FROM KARMA INCURRED OUT OF IGNORANCE) AND SUFFERING WHOSE DISADVANTAGES FAR OUTWEIGH ITS ALLURES, THEY ARE NOT WONDERFULLY ENDOWED WITH EXISTENCE.
The fabrications can only be perceiving (how and what one sees, hears, smells, touches and tastes), thinking, speaking and doing.
There is a hierarchy of unwholesomeness in the fabrications with neither perceiving nor not perceiving higher than perceiving higher than thinking higher than speaking and doing.
To speak and do with a style or the additional unnecessary use of force to stretch (eg syllables, curve and prolong units of motion), change speed, strength and direction is more unwholesome than speaking and doing without style. To say or do things that are useless, for show to manipulate others is more unwholesome than not to do so.
Thus the wise will minimise what they say or do to what is absolutely necessary, shorn of pretentious for show style whilst the foolish and evil will say and do as much as they liked pregnant with style even to outrageous intensities of force.
Thinking is a fabrication that is antecedent to saying and doing and even this has been brought to a stop by those whose minds are higher. Thus to only perceive (see, hear, smell, taste, touch) without thinking (something possible but not known by emotional beings) is higher than perceiving and thinking and according to the Buddha, this ability accords that being two eons or Ages in heaven.
The higher beings even do not perceive (see, hear, smell, taste, touch) that necessitates not perceiving others things apart from those you at a moment perceived in a state unknown to beings trapped in this world, neither perceiving nor not perceiving.
IN OTHER WORDS, ACCORDING TO THE BUDDHA THERE IS A HIGHER STATE OF THE MIND IN WHICH THAT BEING DOES NOT PERCEIVE (SEE, HEAR) NOR DOES HE NOT PERCEIVE, JUST AS IF YOUR MENTAL FORCE IS NEITHER STIRRED ATTRACTIVELY NOR REPULSIVELY, YOU NEITHER LIKED NOR DISLIKED BUT YOU ARE STILL PERCIPIENT.
Once a being is fully awakened, he sees and knows everything and is a Buddha, he no longer wishes to fabricate, no longer wishes or desires to see, hear, think, speak or do and thus shorn of fabricating there is no more becoming for him and he has gone beyond, gone to nirvana, no longer subject to the suffering from karma that is the shadow of actions and fabrications.
IT IS IGNORANCE THAT CAUSES A BEING TO FABRICATE AND FABRICATIONS HAVE A HIERACHY OF WHOLESOMENESS FROM PERCEIVING TO THINKING TO SAYING AND DOING. TO SAY OR DO THINGS THAT ARE UNNECESSARY IS THE LOWEST, TO SAY OR DO THINGS WITH STYLE OR THE UNNECESSARY USE OF FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS IS LOWER THAN TO SAY AND DO WITHOUT STYLE.
TO ONLY THINK WITHOUT SAYING OR DOING IS HIGHER THAN THINKING TO SAY OR DO.
TO NOT THINK BUT JUST PERCEIVE IS HIGHER THAN TO THINK.
TO NEITHER PERCEIVE NOR NOT PERCEIVE IS HIGHER THAN TO PERCEIVE SOME THINGS AND (INEVITABLY) NOT PERCEIVE OTHER THINGS.
What is the nature of this ‘good’ news?
What does the person mean when he says no news is good news?
What does he mean by ‘good’?
By good, he means news or an occurrence that is delightful or stirs his mental force to be ‘happy’ or liking.
Why should no news stir his and your mental force to like or be joyful?
Thus he is speaking about force, about stirring his and your mental force to like the no news that is meaningless, blind and does not last. He is talking about force and he thinks he is talking about something meaningful. In other words he is someone who talks nonsense and thinks he talks sense.
Short selling ban to be lifted:
A ban on the short-selling of financial shares is to be lifted, the UK's financial regulator confirms.
It reflects the crassness of society they see nothing wrong with short selling when it is evil and should be PERMANENTLY banned.
Are these short sellers who borrow to sell or sell without having the shares doing it for love of that stock, for charity or for a loss?
If you agree they are doing it solely for profit, they have no interest in that stock, since they do not own that stock they should not be permitted to sell the stock that is to the detriment of existing stock holders and even the public or economy at large.
ALL SHORT SELLING IS EVIL AND SHORT SELLERS ARE CREATING DEADLY KARMA FOR THEMSELVES FAR WORSE THAN THEY MAY EVER IMAGINE AND IT REFLECTS SOCIETY ITSELF IS SICK AND CONNIVING TO ALLOW SHORTSELLING. BROKERS BENEFIT FROM COMMISSIONS BY INCREASING VOLUME SHORTSELLING BRINGS.
Short selling is absolutely never good:
It is wrong view that leads to hell or the animal womb to say it cannot be objectively determined if short selling is evil, it is neither evil or good, it is plain business because all short selling is evil, is to the detriment of share holders and society in general because it destabilizes.
SHORT SELLING MAY BENEFIT IN PROFIT TO SHORT SELLERS AND DEALERS BUT THESE ARE UNRIGHTEOUS GAINS AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS THAT CREATE KARMA THAT RESULT IN PAIN FAR WORSE THAN THEIR GAINS AND SO SHORT SELLING IS EVEN BAD FOR SHORTSELLERS AND DEALERS IN THE LONG RUN.
THUS YOU CAN SAFELY SAY SHORTSELLING IS NEVER GOOD FOR ANYBODY, NOT EVEN SHORTSELLERS AND DEALERS WHO CONDONE BECAUSE THE KARMA THEY THEREBY ACCRUE WILL CAUSE THEM SUFFERING FAR WORSE THAN THE PROFITS THEY GAIN FROM SHORTSELLING.
SHORTSELLING HARMS SHAREHOLDERS AND SOCIETY IN GENERAL BECAUSE IT DESTABILIZES.
NOW, WHO IS SICK, SOCIETY OR THE SCHIZOPHRENIC UNABLE TO COPE WITH THE DEVIOUS WAYS OF A SICK SOCIETY?
THE SCHIZOPHRENIC IS DEFINITELY SICK BUT SO IS THE SOCIETY HE LIVES IN.
Cloud hangs over Macworld meeting:
He is not talking truthfully but speaking figuratively or falsely about emotion, a proxy of force not reason or something understandable.
By ‘cloud hangs’ he is speaking of glumness or depression or sadness or pessimism (probably because of rumours of Steve Job’s health.
What is the use of being glum or stirring your mental force to be sad by developments? It is suffering, serves no purpose and even detracts from useful actions that may be undertaken.
CLOUD HANGS IS NOT A LET YOUR YES BE YES ONLY STATEMENT OF THINGS BUT IMPLIES SADNESS OR PESSIMISM SHROUDING MEETING. IT IS MEANINGLESS, SUFFERING AND DISTRACTING TO BECOME GLUM ABOUT SOMETHING AND THEREFORE THERE IS NO USE DWELLING ON IT BUT TO ATTEND WITHOUT GLUMNESS MATTERS AT HAND.
People talk earnestly about the quest for truth, they even go to remote places, to India or whatever country or guru who strikes their fancy as the fountain of truth but the fact that you have to search for truth indicates you cannot see the truth and no matter how much someone who cannot see the truth searches for the truth he will never find it because he cannot see the truth. The Buddha said truth is the highest savour and so it is and a release from suffering and for one who cannot see the truth, he is barking up the wrong tree and therefore cannot see it wherever and no matter how he strives to seek the truth.
Truth is not something hidden or buried that you or anyone must seek, truth is everywhere in everything you see and hear but the stylish emotional person cannot see or hear it because he is blinded by his mental force, blinded by the distortion and opacity of his constantly active mental force that always prolongs, changes speed, strength and direction in however and whatever he perceives, thinks, speaks and does.
Truth is not something exotic but it is in everything you see and hear, which can be seen or heard as true or false or nonsense (makes no sense) that is objective and universally applies to everyone. Thus what is true for me is also true for you and everyone else, whether you refuse to accept or not, what is false or nonsense to me is also nonsense to you or anyone else, if you insist it is true then you are dabbling with falsity that will end in suffering and insanity.
IF YOU CANNOT SEE OR HEAR THE TRUTH THAT THERE IS CONSTANT USE OF FORCE TO STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS IN YOUR SPEECH AND THAT OF EVERYONE EVEN ANIMALS HERE AND THAT IT IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS, DISTRACTION (DIVIDED CONCENTRATION AND CANNOT CONCENTRATE), SADNESS, HURT AND FEAR YOU MUST EXPERIENCE, THEN YOU ARE DELUDED TO SEARCH FOR TRUTH BECAUSE YOU ARE BLIND AND FOR ONE WHO IS BLIND IT IS FOOLISH TO TRY TO SEE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE.
BY THEMSELVES THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH THAT THEY ARE CONSTANTLY UNNECESSARILY STRETCHING THEIR SYLLABLES, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS ALL THE TIME AND THAT IS THE ONLY SOURCE OF THEIR WOES AND EVEN AFTER IT IS POINTED OUT AND EVEN DEMONSTRATED MANY TIMES THEY STILL CANNOT SEE, STILL CONTINUE TO HAVE STYLE, SO FOOLISH IS IT THAT THEY SHOULD SEEK TRUTH, SEEK AN ANSWER TO THEIR SUFFERING?
Only those who cannot see the truth and only their mental forces, their likes and dislikes and emotions can make them not see the truth, need to search for the truth and no matter how much and where they seek the truth they will never find it because it is their blindness that makes them unable to see the truth, not the truth that is hidden and hard to find.
YOU ARE DELUDED IF YOU TALK ABOUT A PERSONAL QUEST FOR TRUTH, ABOUT SEEKING TRUTH IN INDIA OR SOME REMOTE PLACES OR SOME GURU, SO LONG AS YOUR MIND IS UNDER THE SPELL OF FORCE, YOU HAVE STYLE OR STRETCH SYLLABLES, CHANGE SPEED AND LOUDNESS YOU WILL NEVER SEE OR FIND THE TRUTH BECAUSE YOU ARE INDULGING IN FALSITY AND UNNECESSARILY USING FORCE THAT IS BLIND, BLINDING AND HARMFUL TO SELF AND OTHERS.
Two possibilities:
When people talk about searching for the truth, there are two possibilities: they can see the truth and the truth is exotic or hidden so well but can be found or they are blind and cannot see the truth but they think they are not blind and can see the truth and therefore they search for the truth.
The evidence clearly points to the latter, emotional stylish people are blinded by their constantly active mental force that churn up distressing stress, restlessness, distraction, sadness, hurt and fear such that they cannot see or are blind and because they are distressed, troubled, they need to search for the truth that they will never find because the fault is in themselves, not that truth is hidden. The truth is in everything they see or hear but they see or hear what is true as false and what is false and harmful as true and beneficial.
AND UNTIL THEY FREE THEMSELVES FROM THE INCESSANT MAD USE OF FORCE TO STRETCH, CHANGE SPEED, STRENGTH AND DIRECTION THEY CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH NO MATTER WHERE AND HOW THEY TRY TO SEE TRUTH. IT IS A VAIN VENTURE THAT BRINGS MORE VEXATIONS.
The Buddha says you cannot see the truth:
The Buddha: "What others call happiness (thrill, excitement, wealth, sensate pleasures liking and disliking, joking and laughing), that the Noble Ones declare to be suffering. What others call suffering that the Noble Ones have found to be happiness. See how difficult it is to understand the Dhamma! For those under the veil (of ignorance) it is obscured, for those who cannot see it is utter darkness. But for the good and the wise it is as obvious as the light for those who can see. Even though close to it, the witless who do not know the Dhamma, do not comprehend it.
THE BUDDHA SAYS TRUTH IS OBVIOUS AS LIGHT TO THOSE WHO CAN SEE BUT FOR THOSE WHO CANNOT SEE, IT IS UTTER DARKNESS. THUS THE BUDDHA IS TELLING YOU THAT IF YOU CANNOT SEE THE TRUTH, THE FAULT IS IN YOU NOT IN REALITY.
The Buddha is referring to you:
Most people conveniently shrug off what they read as not applicable to them, only others when it is totally applicable to them.
This was said by the Blessed One: "Suppose a man was being carried along by the flow of a river, lovely & alluring. And then another man with good eyesight, standing on the bank, on seeing him would say: 'My good man, even though you are being carried along by the flow of a river, lovely & alluring, further down from here is a pool with waves & whirlpools, with monsters & demons. On reaching that pool you will suffer death or death-like pain.' Then the first man, on hearing the words of the second man, would make an effort with his hands & feet to go against the flow.
"I have given you this simile to illustrate a meaning. The meaning is this: the flow of the river stands for craving. Lovely & alluring stands for the six internal sense-media. The pool further down stands for the five lower fetters.* The waves stand for anger & distress. The whirlpools stand for the five strands of sensuality. The monsters & demons stand for the opposite sex. Against the flow stands for renunciation. Making an effort with hands & feet stands for the arousing of persistence. The man with good eyesight standing on the bank stands for the Tathagata, worthy & rightly self-awakened."
Even if it's with pain,
you should abandon sensual desires
if you aspire to future safety from bondage.
Alert, with a mind well-released,
touch release now here, now there.
An attainer-of-wisdom,
having fulfilled the holy life,
is said to have gone to the end of the world, gone
beyond.
Note:
*The five lower fetters are self-identity view, uncertainty, attachment to practices & precepts, sensual passion, & irritation.
Cold comfort:
Quote: The figures, due to be published on Wednesday, will provide cold comfort for the beleaguered UK car industry as it grapples with the economic slowdown.
The person who describes comfort as cold is the man speaking falsely and stirring conflict in himself and others. If it is cold it cannot be comfort and so he does not mean what he says when he calls it ‘comfort’. What is disliked or cold cannot be called comfort and so he is sarcastic, saying the opposite of what he means and therefore speaking falsely. Even ‘little’ comfort is false because it is not comfort but distress that he actually means and he should say truthfully that the figures will distress the beleaguered UK car industry.
