A question of fairness:
This is a NYT headline.
It is NEVER a question of fairness but a question of right or wrong, good or bad. Fairness is about rival claims and distribution of what is claimed amongst rival claimants, it is about greed and sharing of greed and that is wrong.
PEOPLE SEE NOTHING WRONG, SEE THEY ARE PERFECTLY RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT FAIRNESS BUT THEY MAY BE DELUDED. IT MAY BE NEVER A QUESTION OF FAIRNESS BUT A QUESTION OF RIGHT AND WRONG, GOOD OR BAD.
Who is dear to self?
MANY THINK THEY ARE THEIR GREATEST FRIENDS, THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT THEIR DEAR LIVES BUT THAT IS DELUSION AS THEY ARE THEIR WORST ENEMIES BECAUSE THEY ARE HEAPING ‘UNCOUNTABLE’ DEBTS TO BE EXPERIENCED AS FUTURE BITTERNESS.
"That's the way it is, great king! "
That is what the Blessed One said. He said further:
The Buddha and anyone who truly understands never indulges in symbolism which is false, meaningless and ends in insanity.
The Buddha head is shaven just like his deputy, Sariputta’s head is reported to be shaven and those who depicted the Buddha with hair in a bundle are guilty of misrepresenting the Buddha.
The Buddha’s shaven head is never symbolic to show his renunciation of everything but it is a necessary corollary of his abandoning of everything, there is nothing the Buddha has not abandoned.
Hair on the head serves no useful function, it is an unnecessary burden and it is only necessary for show, for decoration, for vanity and so in line with his abandonment of everything, not as a symbol of his abandoning, his hair has been totally cut off.
IF YOU CUT OFF YOUR HAIR OR FAST OR WEAR A CROSS AS A SYMBOL OF YOUR RENUNCIATION OR RELIGIOSITY THEN YOU ARE GUILTY OF PRACTICING SYMBOLISM, OF PUTTING ON A SHOW, OF NOT DOING SOMETHING BECAUSE IT IS MEANINGFUL OR SERVES A TRUE FUNCTION ON ITS OWN BUT JUST AS A (FALSE) REPRESENTATION FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
YOU NEVER DO SOMETHING (WEAR LONG ROBES) FOR SOMETHING ELSE (TO REPRESENT YOUR HOLINESS) FOR OTHERS TO SEE BUT YOU DO IT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO, IT SERVES A USEFUL PURPOSE.
Why style always means hypocrisy:
How many stylish people tell you they mean to harm you? Implicitly or by their anxious, eager, smiling, gentle, sweet musical tones, they mean they are friendly, someone you can trust. Even if they are apathetic or don’t like you, they think they have done nothing wrong or harmful in being nasty to you.
BECAUSE THE SPEECH OF A STYLISH PERSON CONTAIN FORCE CHANGES (PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS) THAT IS TRANSMITTED TO RECIPIENTS THAT MAKES THEM STRESSED, RESTLESS AND DIVIDED IN ATTENTION THIS HARM BELIES OR RENDERS HYPOCRITICAL OR PRETENCE WHATEVER GOODWILL OR TRUTH THAT IS CONVEYED IN THE SUBSTANCE OF THEIR SPEECH.
WHETHER THEY ARE AWARE OR NOT, THE FORCE CHANGES ACCOMPANYING THEIR SPEECH HARMS ALL RECIPIENTS AND THIS RENDERS IT HYPOCRITICAL WHATEVER GOODWILL OR TRUTH THEY MIGHT LIKE TO CONVEY IN THEIR STYLE (SOFT, GENTLE, EAGER) AND SUBSTANCE (“I LOVE YOU SO MUCH”).
FURTHER NO ONE CAN TRULY MEAN WHAT IS MEANINGLESS AND HARMFUL, NAMELY THE FORCE CHANGES IN THEIR STYLES AND SO THEY CANNOT TRULY MEAN THE ENTIRETY OF WHAT THEY SAY THAT RENDERS THEM HYPOCRITICAL, SAYING SOMETHING (FORCE CHANGES) THAT THEY NEVER STATED THAT THEY CAN NEVER MEAN.
AND SO, STYLE RENDERS THE PERSON A HYPOCRITE, HE CAN NEVER PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES, HE GIVES THE IMPRESSION HE IS A MAN OF BENEVOLENCE BUT ALWAYS HE CONVEYS MALEVOLENCE IN HIS SPEECH.
Always pretence they are good:
It is always pretence, never true that stylish people are good or benevolent because the force prolonging, changing speed and loudness that causes stress, restlessness and distraction in listeners harms others.
UNLESS A STYLISH PERSON ACKNOWLEDGES, STATES HIS EVIL ACCOMPANYING FORCE CHANGES, ACKNOWLEDGES HE WANTS TO STRESS YOU, MAKE YOU RESTLESS AND DIVIDE YOUR ATTENTION, HE HAS NOT TRUTHFULLY STATED HIS INTENTION IN HIS ACCOMPANYING STYLE.
ONLY WHEN A PERSON HAS STOPPED RADIATING OTHERS WITH HARMFUL EVEN DEADLY FORCE CHANGES IS HE TRULY A MAN OF GOODWILL, HAVE NOT DONE HARM TO HIS LISTENER.
He can never practice what he preaches:
By his charming, gentle, melodic, anxious concerned style he is preaching goodwill or benevolence but he CANNOT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO PRACTICE what he preaches so earnestly because the force changes in his speech is evil, causes others stress, restlessness and divides their attention.
Whatever is rehashed is always hypocritical:
It does not matter how realistic or sincere you and others think your speech is, so long as it is in truth rehashed (there is a copy in your mental jukebox upon which it is approximately or precisely based), it is a counterfeit of what is genuine, insincere, a fake and you are guilty of being a hypocrite for not practicing (by rehash) what you preach (being genuine).
WHATEVER IS REHASHED CANNOT BE TRULY MEANT AND SO IF YOU REHASH YOU MUST BE A HYPOCRITE OR FAKE. AND SO IF YOU HARBOUR ANY PRETENSE ABOUT BEING GENUINE, YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE BECAUSE WHAT YOU SAID IS REHASHED IMPERSONALLY, NONSPECIFICALLY.
AND SO IT MAY TRUE YOUR ‘HI THERE’ IS GENUINE, FRESHLY COMPOSED FOR THE PERSON FOR THAT OCCASION OR IT IS MINDLESSLY SLICKLY REHASHED, IF IT REHASHED THEN YOU ARE A FAKE AND HYPOCRITE IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GENUINE, WISHING FROM THE BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART THEN THAT IS DELUSION.
Style is fine if you make no claims of benevolence or authenticity:
Style is fine so long as the person makes no implicit or expressed claims to benevolence and authenticity, if he imagines he is benevolent or authentic then that is hypocrisy and delusion because his constant transmission of force and rehashing renders his claims of benevolence and authenticity false.
Anyone who thinks that the stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate created by style or the fact that what is said is rehashed is inconsequential is deluded because the harm far outweighs whatever truth and benevolence that is supposed to be conveyed. Because it maintains others in the ordinary state of mind and deprives them of the first higher state that gives one eternity of heavenly existence, its cost is even terribly high.
A sinner is always his worst enemy by far:
Nothing an enemy can do to a sinner can send him to hell or eternal punishment and it is what he does that will send him to hell even eternal punishment and eternal punishment is far worse than any suffering that might befall the sinner.
Further, in his life here it is possible to escape the suffering caused by enemies but there is no escaping the suffering he creates for himself with his style; the insoluble renewing stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate that his style creates.
NO ONE CAN SEND YOU TO HELL AND ETERNAL PUNISHMENT EXCEPT YOU BY YOUR ACTIONS AND THERE IS NO WORSE SUFFERING THAN THAT.
YOU CAN ESCAPE THE SUFFERING CAUSED BY OTHERS BUT THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE YOU CREATE YOURSELF WITH YOUR STYLE.
Bored with normal ringtones?
Only a fool heaping karma to be experienced as future suffering will pose that question to others not without motive but for material gains.
Ordinary people experience boredom, they ‘know’ what it is but they do not understand the true nature of ‘boredom’.
What is the nature of boredom?
It is an emotional or force driven state of the mind characterized by dislike (a stirring of mental force) together with a seeking for stimulation, for excitement, for something, anything to stimulate or derive material gain to occupy the mind.
Boredom has nothing to do with reason or meaning, it is an unpleasant force induced state of the mind that is prolonged, a mood that drives the bored person to seek something to do just to dispel that unpleasant boredom or emotional state eg make a cup of coffee, find someone to chat on the phone or what not.
The Buddha never spoke of boredom and it is impossible a person whose mental force is not stirred, inert to experience boredom.
ONLY A PERSON WHO IS RESTLESS AND SUBSISTS ON A DIET OF STIMULATION, EXCITATION AND MINDLESS OCCUPATION OF HIS SENSES CAN EXPERIENCE BOREDOM, AN UNPLEASANT FORCE BASED STATE OR MOOD THAT DRIVES HIM TO SEEK STIMULATION OR TRY TO ESCAPE SOMEHOW NOT BECAUSE THERE IS A REASON TO DO OR SAY SOMETHING BUT JUST TO GET OUT OF BOREDOM AND THIS IS A FORM OF CONTROLLED INSANITY LEADING TO FUTURE UNCONTROLLABLE INSANITY.
BOREDOM IS A DULL (NOT VIOLENT OR SHARP) DISLIKE FOR AN EMOTIONAL STATE OF THE MIND THAT HAS NOTHING TO TITILLATE OR EXCITE OR OCCUPY IT. NOT ONLY IS IT UNPLEASANT, IT IS CONDITIONING TO BECOME MORE INTENSE, EASILY AROUSED AND HARD TO SHAKE OFF AND HE IS TORMENTED.
David Beckham signed for £11.6m.
Former England captain David Beckham is believed to be on the verge of signing for Paris Saint-Germain after being offered an 18-month contract worth a staggering £11.6m.
Even if those who pay can afford it (rich owners did not borrow or steal money to finance), such high fees are an abuse of the system that ultimately is borne by the system.
There is nothing an aging man at the end of his career can do that is worth the amount of money and it reflects insanity and crassness that such sums are spent on such frivolous pursuits.
One way or another the buck stops with the system, the masses eg fans will have to pay more to buy tickets, such excesses drain wealth from the system into the pockets of the few. No one cares but when the system collapses and your head is on the block like Gaddafi’s was, then you will care too late you did not care.
Many rich clubs like Real Madrid are bankrolled by rich people with powerful connections whom banks lend without question and hide their loans which become un-payable and ultimately left for the masses to assume.
King returns from cold Antarctica to a warm reception
PETALING JAYA: Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin returned from a five-day working visit to scientific centres in Antarctica.
What is said is not because the person sees and knows it is true, but to pander or please and impress. This is a form of hypocrisy, to say things without knowing it is true but to please and impress others.
AND SO IT IS THAT WHENEVER THE INTENTION PARTIALLY OR TOTALLY IS TO PLEASE AND IMPRESS OTHERS, WHAT IS SAID IS HYPOCRITICAL NOT TRUE AND PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD ARE SAYING THINGS TO PLEASE AND IMPRESS FAR MORE THAN THEY ARE AWARE.
Egyptian blogger: Why I posed naked
You do not need to read to find out her reasons, there are never true reasons or need to pose nude and because she thinks they are true reasons, otherwise she would not attempt to justify her actions, she is deluded and will head for suffering and those who are interested to find out are similarly deluded because they are in doubt and uncertainty, think she may have valid reasons for posing nude.
THERE ARE NEVER TRUE REASONS OR ANY NEED TO POSE NUDE, WHATEVER REASON MUST BE FALSE AND THUS UNWORTHY OF KNOWING AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, YOU ARE GULLIBLE OR DELUDED. WHATEVER REASONS SHE GIVE MUST BE FALSE SO WHY FIND OUT WHAT IS FALSE UNLESS YOU ARE A SEEKER OF FALSITY?
Goldman Sachs may be a big can of worms:
Commodity trader MF Global filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 31and as much as $1.2 billion of customer money is missing. 6 months ago, its auditors Price Waterhouse gave it a clean bill of health and it was only an external audit mandated by law that exposed its shenanigans.
MF Global had assets of $41 billion, Goldman $1 trillion, JP Morgan $3 trillion are also audited by PWC and it looks like dereliction of duty by PWC that has cost depositors lots of money.
I think Goldman is into commodity trading too and may be tempted to use customers’ funds like MF Global.
Bearing in mind Goldman’s moral record, it is conceivable a much bigger can of worms ($1 trillion vs $41 billion) can of worms may be hidden from public gaze.
Chinese Banks ‘Built on Quicksand’ With Bad Loans, Chanos Says
Chinese banks are “extremely fragile” because the lenders don’t have enough capital to offset bad loans, said Jim Chanos, president and founder of the $6 billion hedge fund Kynikos Associates Ltd.
There are conflicting views about the state of China’s financial system and economy and if this is accurate it means China is just another domino like Japan, US and Europe waiting to topple and with it the circle is complete and the whole world will descend into even depression.
Delusion that mounting debts can be repaid:
When a responsible man borrows, it is not for spending what he cannot afford without borrowing but to spend on something productive that will provide returns that will enable him to repay what he borrowed with more to spare.
The fact that governments all over the world, after years even decades of borrowing and piling up mountainous debts still need to borrow to make ends meet reflects that the money has been spent foolishly on unproductive consumption that did not provide any appreciable returns and it is now lost forever.
IF AFTER EVEN DECADES OF BORROWING CREATING A ‘MOUNTAIN’ OF DEBT YOU STILL CANNOT REPAY AND NEED TO BORROW JUST TO MAKE ENDS MEET, IT MEANS WHAT WAS BORROWED IN THE PAST IS UNPAYABLE, WHAT HOPE HAVE YOU THAT IT CAN BE REPAID IN THE FUTURE? THE MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT WASTEFULLY AND IT WILL BE PAINFUL IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAY. BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING BEYOND YOUR MEANS FUELED BY BORROWING, IN ORDER TO REPAY YOU MUST LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS PLUS REPAY DEBTS WHICH MEAN MUCH EVEN CRIPPLING DEPRESSION OF THE ECONOMY OR DEMAND, YOU MAY HAVE TO SELL YOUR ASSETS IN LIEU OF PAYMENT.
A PERSON WHO BORROWS TO SPEND UNPRODUCTIVELY IS A RECKLESS PERSON AND THE FACT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR DECADES AND MASSIVE DEBTS HAVE ACCUMULATED REFLECTS INCORRIGIBLE RECKLESSNESS. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS RECKLESS PERSON HAS CHANGED HIS WAYS NOR MADE MEANINGFUL EFFORTS TO REDRESS HIS EXCESSES AND IT IS DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR RECKLESS PEOPLE TO REFORM THEMSELVES AND SO IT REFLECTS DENIAL AND LACK OF UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY THINK THEY CAN DIG THEMSELVES OUT OF THIS HOLE THEY HAVE DUG THEMSELVES IN.
* "For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property; 15 to one he gave five talents, * to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more. 17 So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19* Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.' 21* His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.' 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.' 23 His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.' 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not winnow; 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.' 26 But his master answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not winnowed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29* For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30* And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.'
31* "When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32* Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 34* Then the King will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35* for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 38 And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 39 And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?' 40* And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.' 41* Then he will say to those at his left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' 44 Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?' 45 Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.' 46* And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Chapter 26
A global reckoning with debt next year?
Apparently a lot of loans taken by governments and companies are due for repayment or refinancing next year and it will be difficult if not impossible to refinance in this current climate.
NEXT YEAR A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DEBT TAKEN DURING THE BOOM YEARS WILL COME DUE FOR REPAYMENT OR REFINANCING AND YOU CAN EXPECT TROUBLE EVEN BANK COLLAPSES, SO KEEP YOUR OPTIMISM IN CHECK.
A fine affair for woman and brother-in-law
An unlawful affair cannot be fine and this is a form of sarcasm and hypocrisy. Many think their sarcasm is friendly, good natured, for jest, they are even unaware they are being sarcastic.
SARCASM IS A FORM OF HYPOCRISY BECAUSE YOU MEAN THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU SAY AND IT IS EVIL AND DEADLY TO YOU NEVER GOOD NATURED.
ANYONE CAPABLE OF SARCASM IS A COMPETENT HYPOCRITE NOT JUST THERE BUT EVERYWHERE.
The self-serving man is a hypocrite:
Many do not realize they are self-serving and what they say or do is towards self-service that they couch as service for others. I have no difficulty seeing through others’ fecklessness and self service and therefore recognize their hypocrisy.
SELF SERVICE IS A PROGRAMMING AND ONCE WELL PROGRAMMED THE PERSON IS A SLAVE ALWAYS ACTING IN THE NAME OF SELF THAT HE OFTEN DISGUISE AS SERVICE FOR OTHERS.
THUS POLITICIANS ENACT AND MAINTAIN DRACONIAN LIBEL AND ARREST LAWS THEY TELL YOU ARE TO PROTECT YOU BUT IT IS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THEY ARE HYPOCRITES. IF WHAT IS SAID IS TO SERVE YOURSELF IT IS NOT THE TRUTH BUT LOADED TO SERVE SELF.
Pleasures are enjoyed best unstirred:
Rather than enhancing the pleasure experience, when a person’s mental force is stirred (to be excited, angry, sad, hurt, confused or fearful) his enjoyment from a given pleasure is ALWAYS diminished.
The reason is because pleasure unless perverted, is the reception through the senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) of mild force, if a person’s mental force is stirred, this stirring swamps or smothers the mild force being received and thus kills or diminishes the pleasure experience.
THUS THE PERSON WHO IS ANXOUS OR FEARFUL STRUGGLES TO ENJOY WHATEVER PLEASURES PRESENTED TO HIM.
THE PERSON WHO IS ANGRY OR HATEFUL, CANNOT ENJOY PLEASURES.
THE PERSON WHO IS CONFUSED IS TOO CONFUSED TO ENJOY WHATEVER PLEASURE PRESENT.
ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE OFTEN UNAWARE THEIR MENTAL FORCES ARE STIRRING ALL THE TIME, AT LOWER LEVELS THEY DO NOT REALIZE THEIR MENTAL FORCES ARE STIRRING AND THIS DETRACTS RATHER THAN ENHANCE THE PLEASURE THEY SEEK.
NOWADAYS MY MENTAL FORCE IS MUCH LESS STIRRED THAN IN THE PAST AND IT IS MY EXPERIENCE THAT THINGS ARE MORE ENJOYABLE THUS. PEOPLE ARE DELUDED THAT THEY ENJOY BETTER IF THEY ARE EXCITED, LUSTING OR GREEDY, ON THE CONTRARY, FREED OF EXCITEMENT, LUST OR GREED, PLEASURES ARE BETTER EXPERIENCED.
Style kills pleasure:
It is pleasure that emotional people seek and their style kills the very pleasure they seek because the totally unnecessary use of force to prolong, change speed and force detracts from, drowns the perception of mild force that is requisite to the pleasure experience and the incessant stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate further diminishes whatever pleasure experiences that come their way.
THUS IF PLEASURE IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, YOU ARE A FOOL TO PRACTICE STYLE BECAUSE THE TOTALLY UNNECESSARY FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH IS INIMICAL TO THE RECEPTION OF MILD FORCE NEEDED TO EXPERIENCE PLEASURE AND THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION CREATED BY STYLE AGAIN UNDERMINES THE PLEASURE EXPERIENCE.
All beings here are cursed by conflict:
It does not matter how stupid or clever you are, how rich or poor, how powerful or powerless you are, so long as the person is emotional and sports style he must suffer ever present conflict that often reaches exasperating homicidal or suicidal levels. There is no escape for him no matter what he tries to do, take holidays, drugs, become fitness or sports fanatics, drown himself in work.
Why is serious even tormenting conflict inevitable for everyone here?
THE FOOLISH AND DELUDED THINK SOME (EG CORRUPT POLITICIANS) ARE HAVING IT GOOD HERE AND GETTING AWAY LIGHTLY HERE. THE DISCERNING KNOW THAT EXISTENCE HERE IS AGONIZING CONFLICT FOR ANYONE WHO IS OBJECTIVELY STYLISH AND EMOTIONAL.
A sure fail business model:
There are many businesses all over the world modelled after the Air Asia business model.
In its desperation to sell planes Airbus is willing to sell as many planes as Air Asia wants and arrange banks to finance the deal and driven by cockiness, without having the assets to back up, Air Asia is undertaking rapid expansion buying many new planes even when air travel is a very risky business subject to many vagaries like fuel prices and economic downturn and there is ample evidence of rising fuel prices and deteriorating economic conditions. Maybe the reason is that the executives are not personally liable for losses, money is borrowed on behalf of the company that they are so unafraid of risk.
Even if their gambles should succeed, it is likely not all proceeds will accrue to the company but a significant proportion is likely to be diverted out of the company.
THERE ARE MANY BUSINESSES IN THIS WORLD THAT ARE ALLOWED TO BORROW HEAVILY WITHOUT ASSETS BACKING THEIR BORROWINGS TO FINANCE BUSINESS. PLANE MAKERS GET BANKERS (LENDING DEPOSITORS’ MONEY) TO FINANCE THE DEALS BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD UP FOR BUSINESS, BORROWERS ARE NOT AVERSE TO RISKS BECAUSE THEY ARE ACTING ON BEHALF OF COMPANIES, NOT THEMSELVES AND EVEN IF THEIR GAMBLES SUCCEED, GRUBBY HANDS ARE LIKELY TO DIVERT PROCEEDS SO THAT THE COMPANY IS SADDLED WITH UNPAYABLE DEBTS THAT IS LEFT TO THE SYSTEM TO ASSUME.
Capitalism is a game built on debt:
Capitalism is a game that only deluded people without true understanding can subscribe to, it is never something rational or truly workable or sustainable and the name of the game is to hoard wealth by means much more foul than fair that is always at the expense of the system and therefore AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS.
Without the REPETITIVE RECYCLING OF ALREADY HOARDED WEALTH VIA A COMMON BANKING SYSTEM THROUGH LENDING THAT INEXORABLY CREATES MOUNTING DEBTS MANY MULTIPLES OF ACTUAL WEALTH, capitalism would have collapsed much earlier but because it is built on the piling of debt, its final demise and with it social mayhem is to be expected and a certainty.
THE LONGER THE EXCESSES HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED THE WORSE THE OUTCOME AND BECAUSE THE EXCESSES HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED A VERY LONG TIME, THERE IS A MOUNTAIN OF DEBT PILED UP AND THE EARTH HAS BEEN ABUSED TO COLLAPSE, YOU CAN EXPECT A DEVASTATING COLLAPSE WHEN IT FINALLY COMES.
Capitalism is a cruel, heartless game of capitalists and companies big and small recruiting the masses to build and sell products and services to the public so that they accumulate in time a big pile of wealth that they then lend to the system to make more money. Thus supplied with more borrowed money from the capitalists, the system or governments can continue to spend that in turn keeps the flow of profit to these companies and capitalists who again re-lend to the system, not because they love others but they want to make their money work, make their money make more money without work and they trust governments cannot go bankrupt, the US cannot go bankrupt which is why people stash their money in the US which is why it is far more wealthy (by steroids) than it actually is.
The masses are happy to be recruited as employees, their savings are their little hoards of wealth that deludes them the system works when the system is designed to use the masses as pawns, as slaves IN THE NAME OF AMASSING WEALTH FOR THEIR BOSSES BE THEY CAPITALISTS OR MULTINATIONALS.
Thus when TESCO muscles in to sell products cheaper than ‘mom and pop’ shops, they are hoarding profit in them made from the masses that would have gone to more people and they use their financial and political clouts to further cement their positions and make more profits that drain the wealth into the hands of the few.
There are some genuine creations of new wealth as in tapping the earth’s resources, eg timber, oil discoveries but this is not fairly shared but the lion shares go to the wealthy few and multinationals and so with time the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a minority whilst the masses are impoverished and without these capitalists relending their wealth to the system, to governments, capitalism would have collapsed long ago when people run out of money to spend. But such re-lending only extends the game and aggravates the disparity and in time to come, the debts in the system become too massive to sustain and these capitalists develop cold feet, refuse to further lend and this is like pulling the carpet from under the feet of the system.
CAPITALISM IS UNWORKABLE, IT IS A HEARTLESS GAME OF USING OTHERS, USING THE MASSES TO WORK FOR YOU TO MAKE PROFIT FOR YOU SO THAT YOU CAN UNRIGHTEOUSLY HOARD WEALTH AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS AND THEN YOU LEND YOUR HOARDED WEALTH BACK TO THE SYSTEM NOT BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE PEOPLE BUT TO MAKE MORE MONEY WITH YOUR MONEY WITHOUT DOING WORK AND IT IS THIS RECYCLING OF WEALTH THAT INCREASINGLY BURDENS THE SYSTEM WITH DEBT THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING PROSPERITY MUCH LONGER THAN IT OTHERWISE WOULD BE. BUT WHEN THE DEBTS OF GOVERNMENTS BECOME UNWIELDY, CAPITALISTS GET COLD FEET AND REFUSE TO LEND AND THIS CAUSES THE FINAL UNRAVELLING OR DEMISE OF THE SYSTEM AND WITH IT SOCIAL MAYHEM.
Making money is never a valid reason for action:
Making the floor clean is a valid reason for sweeping the floor. Sweeping the floor to make money is not a valid reason except as a means of livelihood.
No one is a master of making money except in their delusion but they are increasingly enslaved and that is not only torture but your pursuit of money or wealth will end in insanity.
Steve Jobs may deny that it is money that he wants to make, he wants to make beautiful products that are a marvel to use, but his purpose is to steal customers from Microsoft and the rest, to make as much money as possible, otherwise why all the jazz about launches, about employees applauding customers buying? The more you deny, the more mad you will become because ultimately it is money that capitalists are after, not superior products like BMW or Mercedes or Toyota which are designed to sell and make money, and they will cut corners, employ ‘bean counters’ to save costs and make money so long as it does not undermine the false image of desirability they want to create.
SO LONG AS A PERSON’S PURPOSE IN DOING SOMETHING IS MAKING MONEY, HE IS PRACTICING CONTROLLED INSANITY THAT WILL END IN UNCONTROLLED INSANITY BECAUSE IT IS A FALSE REASON FOR ACTION. FURTHER HE ENSLAVES HIMSELF TO MONEY AND SO IS A ROBOT NO MATTER HOW MARVELLOUS OR FREE HE THINKS HE IS.
They have fat hope of repaying debts:
Nations cannot even service their debts, let alone that they can ever repay their debts.
If they can service their debts, they would not have needed to borrow more or rollover their debts.
IT IS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SERVICE THEIR DEBTS THAT MANY NATIONS IN CRISIS HAVE NEEDED TO ROLL OVER THEIR DEBTS OR BORROW TO KEEP GOING.
IF THEY CANNOT SERVICE THEIR DEBTS, WHAT HOPE HAVE THEY OF REPAYING THEIR DEBTS EXCEPT THROUGH WRENCHING DEPRESSION OF THEIR ECONOMIES THROUGH ELIMINATION OF SPENDING THAT IS ACTUALLY BEYOND THEIR MEANS.
NATIONS ARE LIVING ACTUALLY WAY BEYOND THEIR MEANS AND CANNOT EVEN SERVICE THEIR DEBTS LET ALONE REPAY IT THAT IF POSSIBLE WILL REQUIRE MORE THAN LIVING WITHIN MEANS SO AS NOT TO CREATE MORE DEBT AND REPAY OLD DEBTS AND THIS MEANS A DRASTIC REDUCTION OF LIVING STANDARDS, OF CONSUMPTION THAT MAY BE FATAL, MANY PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS THAT ARE NOT AFFORDABLE.
Proliferation of competition hastens capitalism’s demise:
Capitalism is about greed and the proliferation of companies doing the same thing each churning similar products trying to grab market share, trying to outdo each other, leads to excesses, new models more than necessary, promotions that intensifies the abuses on the system and hasten the transfer of wealth from the system to the few and thus hasten capitalism’s demise.
In Fog of War, Rift Widens Between U.S. and Pakistan
By STEVEN LEE MYERS 4 minutes ago
After a NATO airstrike killed at least two dozen Pakistani soldiers, actions by the United States and Pakistan reflected a distrust that gets harder to repair with each clash.
The statement reflects wrong understanding and has deadly karma for him.
It is blaming the fog of war rather than US’ fecklessness for the deaths.
Such strikes are never justified, even if in self defence and so it is misleading others with karma due and wrong understanding to think the fog of war is the cause of the strike.
When are you going to start repaying?
It is already very late to start repaying and the current excuse is that times are bad, wait until things improve before we talk about repaying, in the meantime, can I have more credit?
Before you can start repaying, you must stop borrowing more and start repaying the interest.
MANY NATIONS HAVE HUGE PILES OF DEBTS AND THEY NEED TO KEEP BORROWING ON THE PREMISE THAT WHEN THE ECONOMY IMPROVES LATER THEY WILL START REPAYING. THEY CANNOT EVEN MEET INTEREST PAYMENTS LET ALONE START REPAYING THE PRINCIPAL IT IS LIKELY THAT IF EVER CONDITIONS IMPROVE, IT IS BACK TO THE SAME BEFORE, LIVING WASTEFULLY BEYOND THEIR MEANS.
China kicks off yuan trading vs Aussie, Canadian dollar
THE FACT THE US IS EYEING THIS TREND WITH CONCERN IS ADMISSION THEY BENEFIT FROM THE USD BEING USED BY THIRD PARTIES FOR TRADE SETTLEMENT AND CHINA IS TRYING TO STOP THE US’ PARASITIC RIDE. THIS WILL CRIMP THE US’ WEALTH.
SHANGHAI | Sun Nov 27, 2011 10:43pm EST
(Reuters) - China's yuan started trading against the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar in the country's onshore foreign exchange market on Monday, the latest currency pairs to be introduced as part of Beijing's efforts to promote the use of its currency.
Beijing's wants to expand the use of the yuan for trade and investment, as a way of reducing reliance on the dollar and thereby simplifying the settlement of trade in everything from energy to manufactured goods.
The yuan is not fully convertible under the capital account but China has made efforts to raise the international status of its currency over the past couple of years as it works toward its goal of making Shanghai a global financial center by 2020.
Editorial
The Price of Intolerance
Intolerance is evil and suffering to the intolerant person and its victims but there are no prices and costs which are the fabrications of the calculating person trying to tote up everything and put a price to everything.
IT IS NOT THE (FORBIDDING OR COSTLY) PRICE OF INTOLERANCE THAT SHOULD BE A CONSIDERATION IN CENSURING IT, IT IS BECAUSE IT IS EVIL, SENSELESS, HARMS SELF AND OTHERS THAT IT SHOULD BE DISAPPROVED, ANYONE WHO SPEAKS OF THE PRICE OF INTOLERANCE IS GUILTY OF BEING CALCULATING, DOING SOMETHING FOR PROFIT AND LOSS OR ADVANTAGE RATHER THAN GOOD OR BAD.
IF YOU THINK INTOLERANCE HAS A PRICE OR COST, YOU MAY BE RIGHT OR DELUDED, IF YOU ARE DELUDED, THERE IS FUTURE INSANITY AND SUFFERING FOR YOU, YOU HAVE DEBT MISLEADING OTHERS.
Only robots can be intolerant:
Only robots (programmed by themselves and society to hate certain things) can be intolerant, if you think a non-robot can be intolerant, you may right or deluded.
A person of true understanding examines each situation as a case by case basis and he determines what is right or wrong, harmful or beneficial, meaningful or meaningless and he chooses what is right, beneficial and meaningful and rejects what is wrong, harmful and meaningless, what is so intolerant about that?
It is the person who is a robot, who does not truly understand things, who needs to be told by themselves and others what to do (programmed by themselves and others what to do) who would thus programed and without understanding, in the future categorically reject and attack things and people they are programed to be intolerant or hateful to.
THERE IS LITTLE IF ANY THAT CAN BE DONE TO REFORM INTOLERANT PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT POSSESS TRUE UNDERSTANDING, ONLY PROGRAMMING, THERE IS NO POINT RE-PROGRAMMING THEM BECAUSE THEY BECOME ROBOTS OF A DIFFERENT STRIPE. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVERT THE VAST MAJORITY FROM MINDLESS ROBOTS TO TRULY UNDERSTANDING BEINGS.
SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF MOURNING ABOUT THE COSTS OF INTOLERANCE? IF IT IS POINTLESS AND YOU DWELL ON IT, YOU WILL GO MAD.

YOU CAN SAY WE WILL DO THIS AND THAT BUT IT IS ‘UNFAIR’ TO TELL OTHERS HOW IMPORTANT AND NEEDED YOU ARE.
It is slanderous:
If the opposition can do the same or do better what is the point of saying you can do so? Without the opposition having been found wanting in office how can you say so righteously?
WITHOUT YOUR ADVERSARIES PROVING THEMSELVES WANTING, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO IMPLY SO AND IT IS A FORM OF SLANDER.
Tolerance is evil, hypocritical never good:
The common understanding amongst men, even if they never practice what they preach is that it is good to be tolerant when the truth is that tolerance like intolerance is evil, hypocritical never good. Nowhere did the Buddha or Jesus preached tolerance except in your delusion they do.
JUST AS INTOLERANCE IS EVIL, TOLERANCE TOO IS EVIL, HYPOCRITICAL.
If something is false, evil, harmful or meaningless, it should not be tolerated but censured and expelled totally. If something is true, good, beneficial and meaningful, it does not require your tolerance but it requires upholding and development. If something is false or hypocritical eg racial tolerance and you practice it, you are evil, hypocritical not good.
Racial tolerance means you are aware of race, of ‘us’ versus ‘them’ and you have a tendency to discriminate that you refrain from practicing that makes you an hypocrite because you harbour discrimination, racial consciousness.
The person with true understanding knows that racial intolerance is evil, mad and he banishes all considerations of race in his dealings, he is not practicing racial tolerance but to him the issue of race does not arise.
WHAT I SAY MAY BE WRONG, IF WHAT I SAY IS RIGHT, HOW COME NO PREACHERS TEACH YOU THIS AS I DO? IF I DID NOT POINT THIS OUT TO YOU, NO ONE WILL. WHAT I SAY IS IN ACCORD WITH THE BUDDHA AND JESUS, NOWHERE DID THEY SAY YOU SHOULD BE TOLERANT, YOU SHOULD BE INTOLERANT OF EVEN THE SLIGHTEST EVIL, SHOULD NOT CONDONE OR UPHOLD IT, IF SOMETHING IS TRUE OR GOOD, IT DOES NOT NEED YOUR TOLERANCE, IT NEEDS YOUR UPHOLDING.
THE ONLY WAY THAT HUMANS CAN CONSISTENTLY UNDERSTAND TOLERANCE AS GOOD AND MERITORIOUS WHEN IT IS THE OPPOSITE IS IF THEIR FALSE UNDERSTANDING IS BY REHASH, BRAINWASHED BY SOCIETY AND THEN REHASHED WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.
Hypocritical and robotic enforced tolerance:
There are two elements of tolerance namely hypocrisy and mindless force driven enforcement.
There is the case someone preaches tolerance hypocritically when it suits him and it is to his advantage but as soon as it disadvantages him, all tolerance is thrown out of the window.
Thus he preaches racial tolerance if he derives economic or material benefits from coexisting with the other races but as soon as his special rights are trampled or encroached or the benefits stop flowing or sacrifice is demanded of him, he reneges on his tolerance and starts to threaten.
The Buddha truly has no interest in sex, he is not restraining himself refraining his sexual desire. There is the case of someone who has or harbour sexual desires and he uses force to suppress, not express those urges and this too is hypocritical or artificially robotically force constrained that is subject to failure. In the same way, it is not that the person has no racial prejudice, he has but he uses force to suppress expression of those prejudices in which he is actually a hypocrite acting and speaking as if he is tolerant and no matter how he restrains expression, there is lurking even demonic racial intolerance. He may succeed in never acting intolerantly racially but it is contrived, restrained never genuine.
THERE IS NEVER TOLERANCE THAT IS GENUINE, WHOLESOME AND GOOD, IT IS ALWAYS AN ACT, FOR SHOW FOR SPECIFIC MOTIVES OR GAINS. HE HARBOURS RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE OTHER RACES, HATE THEIR PRACTICES, HE THINKS HIS RACE IS SUPERIOR BUT FOR THE SAKE OF DERIVING BENEFITS HE GOES ALONG AND PRACTICE TOLERANCE AND THINKS HE IS GOOD.
Tolerance is laxity and laxity is evil:
Tolerance is laxity and rather than good, laxity is evil and dangerous, opening the door to danger.
As the Buddha said, you must guard the truth, see danger (to yourself) in the slightest of faults, so how can the man of truth and goodness be tolerant, be lax?
Listening, understanding and practicing:
Everyone here suffers, even to tormenting homicidal suicidal levels, no matter how successful, wealthy and replete with sensual pleasures they are and there is only one path out of suffering and it requires listening to, truly understanding what is heard and putting into action what is understood.
There are many who will not listen to anything suggesting religion or spiritual and the only reason is because they do not truly listen, their listening is actually programmed, there are things they program themselves to listen (eg how to make money, how to chase girls) and there are things they are never programmed to do (listen to talks about spiritual matters) or they are programmed to despise or reject.
AT THE HEART OF IT, WHY SOME PEOPLE REFUSE TO LISTEN EVEN BEFORE THEY HAVE HEARD IS THAT THEIR LISTENING IS NEVER TRUE BUT PROGRAMMED. IT IS PROGRAMS THAT TELL THEM WHAT TO HEAR AND WHAT NOT TO HEAR AND IF THERE ARE NO PROGRAMS THAT TELL THEM TO LISTEN TO CERTAIN MATTERS, THEY ARE AT LOSS AND DECLINE TO LISTEN.
After listening, many fail to understand what is said because they do not have true understanding, what they are seeking is programming, programming by others (eg teach or train them how to examine patients or assembly an electronic board) or instructions that they can record in their mental jukeboxes to be rehashed and follow as instructed.
THERE ARE MANY WHO WILL LISTEN BUT THEY CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SAID (EG THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT IS MEANINGLESS, FOR SHOW AND CAUSES RENEWING STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION) BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEE THEMSELVES DOING SO.
For those who truly understood what is said to them, it is a matter of course and time that they will put into practice what they heard and understood because nobody enjoys suffering and even if they did not know there is an eternity of suffering ahead of them, they are subject to fear and anxiety about their future.
IT IS TO BE EXPECTED THAT IF SOMEONE TRULY UNDERSTOOD, HE WILL PUT INTO PRACTICE WHAT HE UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE THAT IS THE PATH OUT OF THE TERRIBLE SUFFERING THAT BESET THEM AND WILL LEAD TO EVEN MORE TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
The truth about our high tech economic miracle:
Between 1979 and 2005 the, after-tax income of Americans in the middle of the income distribution rose 21 per cent; for the richest 0.1 percent rose 400 per cent.
Why do Republicans advocate further tax cuts for the very rich even as they warn about deficits and demand drastic cuts in social insurance programs?
The usual answer is that the super-elite are “job creators” — that is, that they make a special contribution to the economy.
(This may be a twisted self serving argument, not all of them are job creators and even if they create jobs it is to facilitate the transfer of wealth from the system to their pockets that serve to drain wealth from the system to the hands of the few. Further such job creation may be abusive and transient, once the wealth is drained, the jobs disappear or workers are fired; in effect workers have been taken for a temporary employment ride in which they may have foolishly undertaken even fatal debts)
Don’t some of the very rich get that way by producing innovations that are worth far more to the world than the income they receive? It is mostly myth than reality.
Who are the 0.1 per cent (income earners)? Very few of them are Steve Jobs-type innovators; most of them are corporate bigwigs and financial wheeler-dealers. 43 per cent are executives at nonfinancial companies, 18 per cent in finance and another 12 per cent are lawyers or in real estate.
Executive pay skyrocketed over the past generation, set by boards of directors appointed by the very people whose pay they determine; poorly performing C.E.O.’s still get lavish pay checks and fired executives often receive millions as they go out the door.
Much of the value created by modern finance was a mirage. Seemingly high returns simply reflected increased risk-taking — risk that was mostly borne not by the wheeler-dealers themselves but by naïve investors or by taxpayers, who ended up holding the bag when it all went wrong. “If risk-making were a value-adding activity, Russian roulette players (with the gun pointed at others’ heads not theirs’) would contribute disproportionately to global welfare.”
Microsoft may have played out Word Perfect:
In litigation that is on-going, it is alleged in the run-up to Windows 95, Microsoft provided Word Perfect with development tools that it then suddenly dropped making Word Perfect incompatible with the new Windows 95 resulting in customers shifting from Word Perfect to Microsoft’s own Word program. Bill Gates denies it is sabotage saying that there were security risks allowing Word Perfect access.
Exactly what happened can be known and if Microsoft is guilty of exterminating rivals by unfair means, there is karma. What is fair by human legal terms may not be fair by divine standards and if in addition Gates lied to cover up Microsoft’s misdeeds, there is additional karma to be experienced as future suffering for him.
THUS BEHIND MANY SUCCESS STORIES, THERE IS SUBTERFUGE, DIRTY TRICKS AND CHEATING THAT HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES IN FUTURE SUFFERING FOR THE EVIL MEN RESPONSIBLE.
YOU MAY DENY WHAT YOU DID BUT THAT IS GOING TO ADD TO YOUR SUFFERING AND YOU WILL GO MAD BECAUSE TO DENY WHAT IS TRUE IS FALSE IS TO SAY SHIT IS FOOD AND ONE DAY YOU WILL EAT THE SHIT YOU SAY IS FOOD AND THAT IS MAD.
This is a NYT headline.
It is NEVER a question of fairness but a question of right or wrong, good or bad. Fairness is about rival claims and distribution of what is claimed amongst rival claimants, it is about greed and sharing of greed and that is wrong.
PEOPLE SEE NOTHING WRONG, SEE THEY ARE PERFECTLY RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT FAIRNESS BUT THEY MAY BE DELUDED. IT MAY BE NEVER A QUESTION OF FAIRNESS BUT A QUESTION OF RIGHT AND WRONG, GOOD OR BAD.
Who is dear to self?
MANY THINK THEY ARE THEIR GREATEST FRIENDS, THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT THEIR DEAR LIVES BUT THAT IS DELUSION AS THEY ARE THEIR WORST ENEMIES BECAUSE THEY ARE HEAPING ‘UNCOUNTABLE’ DEBTS TO BE EXPERIENCED AS FUTURE BITTERNESS.
Piya Sutta: Dear
King Pasenadi Kosala said to the Blessed One: "Just now, I was thinking: 'Who are dear & not dear to themselves?' Then it occurred: 'Those who engage in bodily, verbal, & mental misconduct are not dear to themselves. They act toward themselves as an enemy would act toward an enemy. But those who engage in good bodily, verbal, & good mental conduct are dear to themselves. They act toward themselves as a dear one would act toward a dear one.'" "That's the way it is, great king! "
That is what the Blessed One said. He said further:
If you hold yourself dear
then don't fetter yourself with evil,
for happiness isn't easily gained
by one who commits a wrong-doing.
then don't fetter yourself with evil,
for happiness isn't easily gained
by one who commits a wrong-doing.
When seized by the End-maker
as you abandon the human state,
what's truly your own?
What do you take along when you go?
What follows behind you like a shadow
that never leaves?
as you abandon the human state,
what's truly your own?
What do you take along when you go?
What follows behind you like a shadow
that never leaves?
Both the merit & evil that you as a mortal
perform here:
that's what's truly your own,
what you take along when you go;
that's what follows behind you
like a shadow that never leaves.
perform here:
that's what's truly your own,
what you take along when you go;
that's what follows behind you
like a shadow that never leaves.
So do what is admirable,
as an accumulation for the future life.
Deeds of merit are the support for beings
when they arise in the other world.
The Buddha is never symbolic:as an accumulation for the future life.
Deeds of merit are the support for beings
when they arise in the other world.
The Buddha and anyone who truly understands never indulges in symbolism which is false, meaningless and ends in insanity.
The Buddha head is shaven just like his deputy, Sariputta’s head is reported to be shaven and those who depicted the Buddha with hair in a bundle are guilty of misrepresenting the Buddha.
The Buddha’s shaven head is never symbolic to show his renunciation of everything but it is a necessary corollary of his abandoning of everything, there is nothing the Buddha has not abandoned.
Hair on the head serves no useful function, it is an unnecessary burden and it is only necessary for show, for decoration, for vanity and so in line with his abandonment of everything, not as a symbol of his abandoning, his hair has been totally cut off.
IF YOU CUT OFF YOUR HAIR OR FAST OR WEAR A CROSS AS A SYMBOL OF YOUR RENUNCIATION OR RELIGIOSITY THEN YOU ARE GUILTY OF PRACTICING SYMBOLISM, OF PUTTING ON A SHOW, OF NOT DOING SOMETHING BECAUSE IT IS MEANINGFUL OR SERVES A TRUE FUNCTION ON ITS OWN BUT JUST AS A (FALSE) REPRESENTATION FOR SOMETHING ELSE.
YOU NEVER DO SOMETHING (WEAR LONG ROBES) FOR SOMETHING ELSE (TO REPRESENT YOUR HOLINESS) FOR OTHERS TO SEE BUT YOU DO IT BECAUSE YOU WANT TO, IT SERVES A USEFUL PURPOSE.
Why style always means hypocrisy:
How many stylish people tell you they mean to harm you? Implicitly or by their anxious, eager, smiling, gentle, sweet musical tones, they mean they are friendly, someone you can trust. Even if they are apathetic or don’t like you, they think they have done nothing wrong or harmful in being nasty to you.
BECAUSE THE SPEECH OF A STYLISH PERSON CONTAIN FORCE CHANGES (PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND LOUDNESS) THAT IS TRANSMITTED TO RECIPIENTS THAT MAKES THEM STRESSED, RESTLESS AND DIVIDED IN ATTENTION THIS HARM BELIES OR RENDERS HYPOCRITICAL OR PRETENCE WHATEVER GOODWILL OR TRUTH THAT IS CONVEYED IN THE SUBSTANCE OF THEIR SPEECH.
WHETHER THEY ARE AWARE OR NOT, THE FORCE CHANGES ACCOMPANYING THEIR SPEECH HARMS ALL RECIPIENTS AND THIS RENDERS IT HYPOCRITICAL WHATEVER GOODWILL OR TRUTH THEY MIGHT LIKE TO CONVEY IN THEIR STYLE (SOFT, GENTLE, EAGER) AND SUBSTANCE (“I LOVE YOU SO MUCH”).
FURTHER NO ONE CAN TRULY MEAN WHAT IS MEANINGLESS AND HARMFUL, NAMELY THE FORCE CHANGES IN THEIR STYLES AND SO THEY CANNOT TRULY MEAN THE ENTIRETY OF WHAT THEY SAY THAT RENDERS THEM HYPOCRITICAL, SAYING SOMETHING (FORCE CHANGES) THAT THEY NEVER STATED THAT THEY CAN NEVER MEAN.
AND SO, STYLE RENDERS THE PERSON A HYPOCRITE, HE CAN NEVER PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES, HE GIVES THE IMPRESSION HE IS A MAN OF BENEVOLENCE BUT ALWAYS HE CONVEYS MALEVOLENCE IN HIS SPEECH.
Always pretence they are good:
It is always pretence, never true that stylish people are good or benevolent because the force prolonging, changing speed and loudness that causes stress, restlessness and distraction in listeners harms others.
UNLESS A STYLISH PERSON ACKNOWLEDGES, STATES HIS EVIL ACCOMPANYING FORCE CHANGES, ACKNOWLEDGES HE WANTS TO STRESS YOU, MAKE YOU RESTLESS AND DIVIDE YOUR ATTENTION, HE HAS NOT TRUTHFULLY STATED HIS INTENTION IN HIS ACCOMPANYING STYLE.
ONLY WHEN A PERSON HAS STOPPED RADIATING OTHERS WITH HARMFUL EVEN DEADLY FORCE CHANGES IS HE TRULY A MAN OF GOODWILL, HAVE NOT DONE HARM TO HIS LISTENER.
He can never practice what he preaches:
By his charming, gentle, melodic, anxious concerned style he is preaching goodwill or benevolence but he CANNOT, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO PRACTICE what he preaches so earnestly because the force changes in his speech is evil, causes others stress, restlessness and divides their attention.
Whatever is rehashed is always hypocritical:
It does not matter how realistic or sincere you and others think your speech is, so long as it is in truth rehashed (there is a copy in your mental jukebox upon which it is approximately or precisely based), it is a counterfeit of what is genuine, insincere, a fake and you are guilty of being a hypocrite for not practicing (by rehash) what you preach (being genuine).
WHATEVER IS REHASHED CANNOT BE TRULY MEANT AND SO IF YOU REHASH YOU MUST BE A HYPOCRITE OR FAKE. AND SO IF YOU HARBOUR ANY PRETENSE ABOUT BEING GENUINE, YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE BECAUSE WHAT YOU SAID IS REHASHED IMPERSONALLY, NONSPECIFICALLY.
AND SO IT MAY TRUE YOUR ‘HI THERE’ IS GENUINE, FRESHLY COMPOSED FOR THE PERSON FOR THAT OCCASION OR IT IS MINDLESSLY SLICKLY REHASHED, IF IT REHASHED THEN YOU ARE A FAKE AND HYPOCRITE IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GENUINE, WISHING FROM THE BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART THEN THAT IS DELUSION.
Style is fine if you make no claims of benevolence or authenticity:
Style is fine so long as the person makes no implicit or expressed claims to benevolence and authenticity, if he imagines he is benevolent or authentic then that is hypocrisy and delusion because his constant transmission of force and rehashing renders his claims of benevolence and authenticity false.
Anyone who thinks that the stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate created by style or the fact that what is said is rehashed is inconsequential is deluded because the harm far outweighs whatever truth and benevolence that is supposed to be conveyed. Because it maintains others in the ordinary state of mind and deprives them of the first higher state that gives one eternity of heavenly existence, its cost is even terribly high.
A sinner is always his worst enemy by far:
Nothing an enemy can do to a sinner can send him to hell or eternal punishment and it is what he does that will send him to hell even eternal punishment and eternal punishment is far worse than any suffering that might befall the sinner.
Further, in his life here it is possible to escape the suffering caused by enemies but there is no escaping the suffering he creates for himself with his style; the insoluble renewing stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate that his style creates.
NO ONE CAN SEND YOU TO HELL AND ETERNAL PUNISHMENT EXCEPT YOU BY YOUR ACTIONS AND THERE IS NO WORSE SUFFERING THAN THAT.
YOU CAN ESCAPE THE SUFFERING CAUSED BY OTHERS BUT THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND INABILITY TO CONCENTRATE YOU CREATE YOURSELF WITH YOUR STYLE.
Bored with normal ringtones?
Only a fool heaping karma to be experienced as future suffering will pose that question to others not without motive but for material gains.
Ordinary people experience boredom, they ‘know’ what it is but they do not understand the true nature of ‘boredom’.
What is the nature of boredom?
It is an emotional or force driven state of the mind characterized by dislike (a stirring of mental force) together with a seeking for stimulation, for excitement, for something, anything to stimulate or derive material gain to occupy the mind.
Boredom has nothing to do with reason or meaning, it is an unpleasant force induced state of the mind that is prolonged, a mood that drives the bored person to seek something to do just to dispel that unpleasant boredom or emotional state eg make a cup of coffee, find someone to chat on the phone or what not.
The Buddha never spoke of boredom and it is impossible a person whose mental force is not stirred, inert to experience boredom.
ONLY A PERSON WHO IS RESTLESS AND SUBSISTS ON A DIET OF STIMULATION, EXCITATION AND MINDLESS OCCUPATION OF HIS SENSES CAN EXPERIENCE BOREDOM, AN UNPLEASANT FORCE BASED STATE OR MOOD THAT DRIVES HIM TO SEEK STIMULATION OR TRY TO ESCAPE SOMEHOW NOT BECAUSE THERE IS A REASON TO DO OR SAY SOMETHING BUT JUST TO GET OUT OF BOREDOM AND THIS IS A FORM OF CONTROLLED INSANITY LEADING TO FUTURE UNCONTROLLABLE INSANITY.
BOREDOM IS A DULL (NOT VIOLENT OR SHARP) DISLIKE FOR AN EMOTIONAL STATE OF THE MIND THAT HAS NOTHING TO TITILLATE OR EXCITE OR OCCUPY IT. NOT ONLY IS IT UNPLEASANT, IT IS CONDITIONING TO BECOME MORE INTENSE, EASILY AROUSED AND HARD TO SHAKE OFF AND HE IS TORMENTED.
David Beckham signed for £11.6m.
Former England captain David Beckham is believed to be on the verge of signing for Paris Saint-Germain after being offered an 18-month contract worth a staggering £11.6m.
Even if those who pay can afford it (rich owners did not borrow or steal money to finance), such high fees are an abuse of the system that ultimately is borne by the system.
There is nothing an aging man at the end of his career can do that is worth the amount of money and it reflects insanity and crassness that such sums are spent on such frivolous pursuits.
One way or another the buck stops with the system, the masses eg fans will have to pay more to buy tickets, such excesses drain wealth from the system into the pockets of the few. No one cares but when the system collapses and your head is on the block like Gaddafi’s was, then you will care too late you did not care.
Many rich clubs like Real Madrid are bankrolled by rich people with powerful connections whom banks lend without question and hide their loans which become un-payable and ultimately left for the masses to assume.
King returns from cold Antarctica to a warm reception
PETALING JAYA: Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin returned from a five-day working visit to scientific centres in Antarctica.
What is said is not because the person sees and knows it is true, but to pander or please and impress. This is a form of hypocrisy, to say things without knowing it is true but to please and impress others.
AND SO IT IS THAT WHENEVER THE INTENTION PARTIALLY OR TOTALLY IS TO PLEASE AND IMPRESS OTHERS, WHAT IS SAID IS HYPOCRITICAL NOT TRUE AND PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD ARE SAYING THINGS TO PLEASE AND IMPRESS FAR MORE THAN THEY ARE AWARE.
Egyptian blogger: Why I posed naked
You do not need to read to find out her reasons, there are never true reasons or need to pose nude and because she thinks they are true reasons, otherwise she would not attempt to justify her actions, she is deluded and will head for suffering and those who are interested to find out are similarly deluded because they are in doubt and uncertainty, think she may have valid reasons for posing nude.
THERE ARE NEVER TRUE REASONS OR ANY NEED TO POSE NUDE, WHATEVER REASON MUST BE FALSE AND THUS UNWORTHY OF KNOWING AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, YOU ARE GULLIBLE OR DELUDED. WHATEVER REASONS SHE GIVE MUST BE FALSE SO WHY FIND OUT WHAT IS FALSE UNLESS YOU ARE A SEEKER OF FALSITY?
Goldman Sachs may be a big can of worms:
Commodity trader MF Global filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 31and as much as $1.2 billion of customer money is missing. 6 months ago, its auditors Price Waterhouse gave it a clean bill of health and it was only an external audit mandated by law that exposed its shenanigans.
MF Global had assets of $41 billion, Goldman $1 trillion, JP Morgan $3 trillion are also audited by PWC and it looks like dereliction of duty by PWC that has cost depositors lots of money.
I think Goldman is into commodity trading too and may be tempted to use customers’ funds like MF Global.
Bearing in mind Goldman’s moral record, it is conceivable a much bigger can of worms ($1 trillion vs $41 billion) can of worms may be hidden from public gaze.
Chinese Banks ‘Built on Quicksand’ With Bad Loans, Chanos Says
Chinese banks are “extremely fragile” because the lenders don’t have enough capital to offset bad loans, said Jim Chanos, president and founder of the $6 billion hedge fund Kynikos Associates Ltd.
There are conflicting views about the state of China’s financial system and economy and if this is accurate it means China is just another domino like Japan, US and Europe waiting to topple and with it the circle is complete and the whole world will descend into even depression.
Delusion that mounting debts can be repaid:
When a responsible man borrows, it is not for spending what he cannot afford without borrowing but to spend on something productive that will provide returns that will enable him to repay what he borrowed with more to spare.
The fact that governments all over the world, after years even decades of borrowing and piling up mountainous debts still need to borrow to make ends meet reflects that the money has been spent foolishly on unproductive consumption that did not provide any appreciable returns and it is now lost forever.
IF AFTER EVEN DECADES OF BORROWING CREATING A ‘MOUNTAIN’ OF DEBT YOU STILL CANNOT REPAY AND NEED TO BORROW JUST TO MAKE ENDS MEET, IT MEANS WHAT WAS BORROWED IN THE PAST IS UNPAYABLE, WHAT HOPE HAVE YOU THAT IT CAN BE REPAID IN THE FUTURE? THE MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT WASTEFULLY AND IT WILL BE PAINFUL IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO REPAY. BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN LIVING BEYOND YOUR MEANS FUELED BY BORROWING, IN ORDER TO REPAY YOU MUST LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS PLUS REPAY DEBTS WHICH MEAN MUCH EVEN CRIPPLING DEPRESSION OF THE ECONOMY OR DEMAND, YOU MAY HAVE TO SELL YOUR ASSETS IN LIEU OF PAYMENT.
A PERSON WHO BORROWS TO SPEND UNPRODUCTIVELY IS A RECKLESS PERSON AND THE FACT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR DECADES AND MASSIVE DEBTS HAVE ACCUMULATED REFLECTS INCORRIGIBLE RECKLESSNESS. THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS RECKLESS PERSON HAS CHANGED HIS WAYS NOR MADE MEANINGFUL EFFORTS TO REDRESS HIS EXCESSES AND IT IS DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR RECKLESS PEOPLE TO REFORM THEMSELVES AND SO IT REFLECTS DENIAL AND LACK OF UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY THINK THEY CAN DIG THEMSELVES OUT OF THIS HOLE THEY HAVE DUG THEMSELVES IN.
* "For it will be as when a man going on a journey called his servants and entrusted to them his property; 15 to one he gave five talents, * to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them; and he made five talents more. 17 So also, he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19* Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.' 21* His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.' 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, 'Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.' 23 His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.' 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, 'Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not winnow; 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.' 26 But his master answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sowed, and gather where I have not winnowed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29* For to every one who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30* And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.'
31* "When the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32* Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will place the sheep at his right hand, but the goats at the left. 34* Then the King will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35* for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry and feed thee, or thirsty and give thee drink? 38 And when did we see thee a stranger and welcome thee, or naked and clothe thee? 39 And when did we see thee sick or in prison and visit thee?' 40* And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.' 41* Then he will say to those at his left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' 44 Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see thee hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to thee?' 45 Then he will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it not to one of the least of these, you did it not to me.' 46* And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
Chapter 26
A global reckoning with debt next year?
Apparently a lot of loans taken by governments and companies are due for repayment or refinancing next year and it will be difficult if not impossible to refinance in this current climate.
NEXT YEAR A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF DEBT TAKEN DURING THE BOOM YEARS WILL COME DUE FOR REPAYMENT OR REFINANCING AND YOU CAN EXPECT TROUBLE EVEN BANK COLLAPSES, SO KEEP YOUR OPTIMISM IN CHECK.
A fine affair for woman and brother-in-law
An unlawful affair cannot be fine and this is a form of sarcasm and hypocrisy. Many think their sarcasm is friendly, good natured, for jest, they are even unaware they are being sarcastic.
SARCASM IS A FORM OF HYPOCRISY BECAUSE YOU MEAN THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU SAY AND IT IS EVIL AND DEADLY TO YOU NEVER GOOD NATURED.
ANYONE CAPABLE OF SARCASM IS A COMPETENT HYPOCRITE NOT JUST THERE BUT EVERYWHERE.
The self-serving man is a hypocrite:
Many do not realize they are self-serving and what they say or do is towards self-service that they couch as service for others. I have no difficulty seeing through others’ fecklessness and self service and therefore recognize their hypocrisy.
SELF SERVICE IS A PROGRAMMING AND ONCE WELL PROGRAMMED THE PERSON IS A SLAVE ALWAYS ACTING IN THE NAME OF SELF THAT HE OFTEN DISGUISE AS SERVICE FOR OTHERS.
THUS POLITICIANS ENACT AND MAINTAIN DRACONIAN LIBEL AND ARREST LAWS THEY TELL YOU ARE TO PROTECT YOU BUT IT IS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THEY ARE HYPOCRITES. IF WHAT IS SAID IS TO SERVE YOURSELF IT IS NOT THE TRUTH BUT LOADED TO SERVE SELF.
Pleasures are enjoyed best unstirred:
Rather than enhancing the pleasure experience, when a person’s mental force is stirred (to be excited, angry, sad, hurt, confused or fearful) his enjoyment from a given pleasure is ALWAYS diminished.
The reason is because pleasure unless perverted, is the reception through the senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch) of mild force, if a person’s mental force is stirred, this stirring swamps or smothers the mild force being received and thus kills or diminishes the pleasure experience.
THUS THE PERSON WHO IS ANXOUS OR FEARFUL STRUGGLES TO ENJOY WHATEVER PLEASURES PRESENTED TO HIM.
THE PERSON WHO IS ANGRY OR HATEFUL, CANNOT ENJOY PLEASURES.
THE PERSON WHO IS CONFUSED IS TOO CONFUSED TO ENJOY WHATEVER PLEASURE PRESENT.
ORDINARY PEOPLE ARE OFTEN UNAWARE THEIR MENTAL FORCES ARE STIRRING ALL THE TIME, AT LOWER LEVELS THEY DO NOT REALIZE THEIR MENTAL FORCES ARE STIRRING AND THIS DETRACTS RATHER THAN ENHANCE THE PLEASURE THEY SEEK.
NOWADAYS MY MENTAL FORCE IS MUCH LESS STIRRED THAN IN THE PAST AND IT IS MY EXPERIENCE THAT THINGS ARE MORE ENJOYABLE THUS. PEOPLE ARE DELUDED THAT THEY ENJOY BETTER IF THEY ARE EXCITED, LUSTING OR GREEDY, ON THE CONTRARY, FREED OF EXCITEMENT, LUST OR GREED, PLEASURES ARE BETTER EXPERIENCED.
Style kills pleasure:
It is pleasure that emotional people seek and their style kills the very pleasure they seek because the totally unnecessary use of force to prolong, change speed and force detracts from, drowns the perception of mild force that is requisite to the pleasure experience and the incessant stress, restlessness and inability to concentrate further diminishes whatever pleasure experiences that come their way.
THUS IF PLEASURE IS IMPORTANT TO YOU, YOU ARE A FOOL TO PRACTICE STYLE BECAUSE THE TOTALLY UNNECESSARY FORCE PROLONGING, CHANGING SPEED AND STRENGTH IS INIMICAL TO THE RECEPTION OF MILD FORCE NEEDED TO EXPERIENCE PLEASURE AND THE STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION CREATED BY STYLE AGAIN UNDERMINES THE PLEASURE EXPERIENCE.
All beings here are cursed by conflict:
It does not matter how stupid or clever you are, how rich or poor, how powerful or powerless you are, so long as the person is emotional and sports style he must suffer ever present conflict that often reaches exasperating homicidal or suicidal levels. There is no escape for him no matter what he tries to do, take holidays, drugs, become fitness or sports fanatics, drown himself in work.
Why is serious even tormenting conflict inevitable for everyone here?
- The style or force prolonging, changing speed and loudness is totally meaningless and applies force to self and this must generate constant self-resistance; whenever a person speaks and acts with style he must act against resistance and that is conflict that is present like a shadow that never leaves no matter what he tries to do to shake it off.
- It is pleasure that is the sustenance of sensual beings in this world and this is dependent on the reception of mild forces through their senses that is drowned out, smothered by the significant violent forces roiling their minds in emotions and the fabrication of style and is further diminished by the stress, restlessness and distraction their style creates.
- When people prolong (delay) their syllables, they often accelerate (rush) in speed and loudness that is simultaneous clashing of rushing and delaying at the same time and this is terrible conflict no matter how charming and meaningful and genuine you think it is.
- Whenever a person says or does things he does not know is true or meaningful or not (eg dance, play golf) or he knows is false, he must generate resistance in himself and that is conflict apart from the style he constantly generates.
THE FOOLISH AND DELUDED THINK SOME (EG CORRUPT POLITICIANS) ARE HAVING IT GOOD HERE AND GETTING AWAY LIGHTLY HERE. THE DISCERNING KNOW THAT EXISTENCE HERE IS AGONIZING CONFLICT FOR ANYONE WHO IS OBJECTIVELY STYLISH AND EMOTIONAL.
A sure fail business model:
There are many businesses all over the world modelled after the Air Asia business model.
In its desperation to sell planes Airbus is willing to sell as many planes as Air Asia wants and arrange banks to finance the deal and driven by cockiness, without having the assets to back up, Air Asia is undertaking rapid expansion buying many new planes even when air travel is a very risky business subject to many vagaries like fuel prices and economic downturn and there is ample evidence of rising fuel prices and deteriorating economic conditions. Maybe the reason is that the executives are not personally liable for losses, money is borrowed on behalf of the company that they are so unafraid of risk.
Even if their gambles should succeed, it is likely not all proceeds will accrue to the company but a significant proportion is likely to be diverted out of the company.
THERE ARE MANY BUSINESSES IN THIS WORLD THAT ARE ALLOWED TO BORROW HEAVILY WITHOUT ASSETS BACKING THEIR BORROWINGS TO FINANCE BUSINESS. PLANE MAKERS GET BANKERS (LENDING DEPOSITORS’ MONEY) TO FINANCE THE DEALS BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD UP FOR BUSINESS, BORROWERS ARE NOT AVERSE TO RISKS BECAUSE THEY ARE ACTING ON BEHALF OF COMPANIES, NOT THEMSELVES AND EVEN IF THEIR GAMBLES SUCCEED, GRUBBY HANDS ARE LIKELY TO DIVERT PROCEEDS SO THAT THE COMPANY IS SADDLED WITH UNPAYABLE DEBTS THAT IS LEFT TO THE SYSTEM TO ASSUME.
Capitalism is a game built on debt:
Capitalism is a game that only deluded people without true understanding can subscribe to, it is never something rational or truly workable or sustainable and the name of the game is to hoard wealth by means much more foul than fair that is always at the expense of the system and therefore AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS.
Without the REPETITIVE RECYCLING OF ALREADY HOARDED WEALTH VIA A COMMON BANKING SYSTEM THROUGH LENDING THAT INEXORABLY CREATES MOUNTING DEBTS MANY MULTIPLES OF ACTUAL WEALTH, capitalism would have collapsed much earlier but because it is built on the piling of debt, its final demise and with it social mayhem is to be expected and a certainty.
THE LONGER THE EXCESSES HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED THE WORSE THE OUTCOME AND BECAUSE THE EXCESSES HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED A VERY LONG TIME, THERE IS A MOUNTAIN OF DEBT PILED UP AND THE EARTH HAS BEEN ABUSED TO COLLAPSE, YOU CAN EXPECT A DEVASTATING COLLAPSE WHEN IT FINALLY COMES.
Capitalism is a cruel, heartless game of capitalists and companies big and small recruiting the masses to build and sell products and services to the public so that they accumulate in time a big pile of wealth that they then lend to the system to make more money. Thus supplied with more borrowed money from the capitalists, the system or governments can continue to spend that in turn keeps the flow of profit to these companies and capitalists who again re-lend to the system, not because they love others but they want to make their money work, make their money make more money without work and they trust governments cannot go bankrupt, the US cannot go bankrupt which is why people stash their money in the US which is why it is far more wealthy (by steroids) than it actually is.
The masses are happy to be recruited as employees, their savings are their little hoards of wealth that deludes them the system works when the system is designed to use the masses as pawns, as slaves IN THE NAME OF AMASSING WEALTH FOR THEIR BOSSES BE THEY CAPITALISTS OR MULTINATIONALS.
Thus when TESCO muscles in to sell products cheaper than ‘mom and pop’ shops, they are hoarding profit in them made from the masses that would have gone to more people and they use their financial and political clouts to further cement their positions and make more profits that drain the wealth into the hands of the few.
There are some genuine creations of new wealth as in tapping the earth’s resources, eg timber, oil discoveries but this is not fairly shared but the lion shares go to the wealthy few and multinationals and so with time the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a minority whilst the masses are impoverished and without these capitalists relending their wealth to the system, to governments, capitalism would have collapsed long ago when people run out of money to spend. But such re-lending only extends the game and aggravates the disparity and in time to come, the debts in the system become too massive to sustain and these capitalists develop cold feet, refuse to further lend and this is like pulling the carpet from under the feet of the system.
CAPITALISM IS UNWORKABLE, IT IS A HEARTLESS GAME OF USING OTHERS, USING THE MASSES TO WORK FOR YOU TO MAKE PROFIT FOR YOU SO THAT YOU CAN UNRIGHTEOUSLY HOARD WEALTH AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS AND THEN YOU LEND YOUR HOARDED WEALTH BACK TO THE SYSTEM NOT BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE PEOPLE BUT TO MAKE MORE MONEY WITH YOUR MONEY WITHOUT DOING WORK AND IT IS THIS RECYCLING OF WEALTH THAT INCREASINGLY BURDENS THE SYSTEM WITH DEBT THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING PROSPERITY MUCH LONGER THAN IT OTHERWISE WOULD BE. BUT WHEN THE DEBTS OF GOVERNMENTS BECOME UNWIELDY, CAPITALISTS GET COLD FEET AND REFUSE TO LEND AND THIS CAUSES THE FINAL UNRAVELLING OR DEMISE OF THE SYSTEM AND WITH IT SOCIAL MAYHEM.
Making money is never a valid reason for action:
Making the floor clean is a valid reason for sweeping the floor. Sweeping the floor to make money is not a valid reason except as a means of livelihood.
No one is a master of making money except in their delusion but they are increasingly enslaved and that is not only torture but your pursuit of money or wealth will end in insanity.
Steve Jobs may deny that it is money that he wants to make, he wants to make beautiful products that are a marvel to use, but his purpose is to steal customers from Microsoft and the rest, to make as much money as possible, otherwise why all the jazz about launches, about employees applauding customers buying? The more you deny, the more mad you will become because ultimately it is money that capitalists are after, not superior products like BMW or Mercedes or Toyota which are designed to sell and make money, and they will cut corners, employ ‘bean counters’ to save costs and make money so long as it does not undermine the false image of desirability they want to create.
SO LONG AS A PERSON’S PURPOSE IN DOING SOMETHING IS MAKING MONEY, HE IS PRACTICING CONTROLLED INSANITY THAT WILL END IN UNCONTROLLED INSANITY BECAUSE IT IS A FALSE REASON FOR ACTION. FURTHER HE ENSLAVES HIMSELF TO MONEY AND SO IS A ROBOT NO MATTER HOW MARVELLOUS OR FREE HE THINKS HE IS.
They have fat hope of repaying debts:
Nations cannot even service their debts, let alone that they can ever repay their debts.
If they can service their debts, they would not have needed to borrow more or rollover their debts.
IT IS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SERVICE THEIR DEBTS THAT MANY NATIONS IN CRISIS HAVE NEEDED TO ROLL OVER THEIR DEBTS OR BORROW TO KEEP GOING.
IF THEY CANNOT SERVICE THEIR DEBTS, WHAT HOPE HAVE THEY OF REPAYING THEIR DEBTS EXCEPT THROUGH WRENCHING DEPRESSION OF THEIR ECONOMIES THROUGH ELIMINATION OF SPENDING THAT IS ACTUALLY BEYOND THEIR MEANS.
NATIONS ARE LIVING ACTUALLY WAY BEYOND THEIR MEANS AND CANNOT EVEN SERVICE THEIR DEBTS LET ALONE REPAY IT THAT IF POSSIBLE WILL REQUIRE MORE THAN LIVING WITHIN MEANS SO AS NOT TO CREATE MORE DEBT AND REPAY OLD DEBTS AND THIS MEANS A DRASTIC REDUCTION OF LIVING STANDARDS, OF CONSUMPTION THAT MAY BE FATAL, MANY PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS THAT ARE NOT AFFORDABLE.
Proliferation of competition hastens capitalism’s demise:
Capitalism is about greed and the proliferation of companies doing the same thing each churning similar products trying to grab market share, trying to outdo each other, leads to excesses, new models more than necessary, promotions that intensifies the abuses on the system and hasten the transfer of wealth from the system to the few and thus hasten capitalism’s demise.
In Fog of War, Rift Widens Between U.S. and Pakistan
By STEVEN LEE MYERS 4 minutes ago
After a NATO airstrike killed at least two dozen Pakistani soldiers, actions by the United States and Pakistan reflected a distrust that gets harder to repair with each clash.
The statement reflects wrong understanding and has deadly karma for him.
It is blaming the fog of war rather than US’ fecklessness for the deaths.
Such strikes are never justified, even if in self defence and so it is misleading others with karma due and wrong understanding to think the fog of war is the cause of the strike.
When are you going to start repaying?
It is already very late to start repaying and the current excuse is that times are bad, wait until things improve before we talk about repaying, in the meantime, can I have more credit?
Before you can start repaying, you must stop borrowing more and start repaying the interest.
MANY NATIONS HAVE HUGE PILES OF DEBTS AND THEY NEED TO KEEP BORROWING ON THE PREMISE THAT WHEN THE ECONOMY IMPROVES LATER THEY WILL START REPAYING. THEY CANNOT EVEN MEET INTEREST PAYMENTS LET ALONE START REPAYING THE PRINCIPAL IT IS LIKELY THAT IF EVER CONDITIONS IMPROVE, IT IS BACK TO THE SAME BEFORE, LIVING WASTEFULLY BEYOND THEIR MEANS.
China kicks off yuan trading vs Aussie, Canadian dollar
THE FACT THE US IS EYEING THIS TREND WITH CONCERN IS ADMISSION THEY BENEFIT FROM THE USD BEING USED BY THIRD PARTIES FOR TRADE SETTLEMENT AND CHINA IS TRYING TO STOP THE US’ PARASITIC RIDE. THIS WILL CRIMP THE US’ WEALTH.
SHANGHAI | Sun Nov 27, 2011 10:43pm EST
(Reuters) - China's yuan started trading against the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar in the country's onshore foreign exchange market on Monday, the latest currency pairs to be introduced as part of Beijing's efforts to promote the use of its currency.
Beijing's wants to expand the use of the yuan for trade and investment, as a way of reducing reliance on the dollar and thereby simplifying the settlement of trade in everything from energy to manufactured goods.
The yuan is not fully convertible under the capital account but China has made efforts to raise the international status of its currency over the past couple of years as it works toward its goal of making Shanghai a global financial center by 2020.
Editorial
The Price of Intolerance
Intolerance is evil and suffering to the intolerant person and its victims but there are no prices and costs which are the fabrications of the calculating person trying to tote up everything and put a price to everything.
IT IS NOT THE (FORBIDDING OR COSTLY) PRICE OF INTOLERANCE THAT SHOULD BE A CONSIDERATION IN CENSURING IT, IT IS BECAUSE IT IS EVIL, SENSELESS, HARMS SELF AND OTHERS THAT IT SHOULD BE DISAPPROVED, ANYONE WHO SPEAKS OF THE PRICE OF INTOLERANCE IS GUILTY OF BEING CALCULATING, DOING SOMETHING FOR PROFIT AND LOSS OR ADVANTAGE RATHER THAN GOOD OR BAD.
IF YOU THINK INTOLERANCE HAS A PRICE OR COST, YOU MAY BE RIGHT OR DELUDED, IF YOU ARE DELUDED, THERE IS FUTURE INSANITY AND SUFFERING FOR YOU, YOU HAVE DEBT MISLEADING OTHERS.
Only robots can be intolerant:
Only robots (programmed by themselves and society to hate certain things) can be intolerant, if you think a non-robot can be intolerant, you may right or deluded.
A person of true understanding examines each situation as a case by case basis and he determines what is right or wrong, harmful or beneficial, meaningful or meaningless and he chooses what is right, beneficial and meaningful and rejects what is wrong, harmful and meaningless, what is so intolerant about that?
It is the person who is a robot, who does not truly understand things, who needs to be told by themselves and others what to do (programmed by themselves and others what to do) who would thus programed and without understanding, in the future categorically reject and attack things and people they are programed to be intolerant or hateful to.
THERE IS LITTLE IF ANY THAT CAN BE DONE TO REFORM INTOLERANT PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT POSSESS TRUE UNDERSTANDING, ONLY PROGRAMMING, THERE IS NO POINT RE-PROGRAMMING THEM BECAUSE THEY BECOME ROBOTS OF A DIFFERENT STRIPE. IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVERT THE VAST MAJORITY FROM MINDLESS ROBOTS TO TRULY UNDERSTANDING BEINGS.
SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF MOURNING ABOUT THE COSTS OF INTOLERANCE? IF IT IS POINTLESS AND YOU DWELL ON IT, YOU WILL GO MAD.
Najib: Barisan is needed to unite the people and reach our goals
Let others decide for themselves whether Barisan is needed or not, it is not for you, with vested interests to tell others you are needed.
You are trying to sell yourself instead of letting others to decide for themselves if they will buy you.
THERE ARE THINGS YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO SAY AND THERE ARE THINGS YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY, AND IT IS OBJECTIVE, APPLIES TO EVERYONE.
YOU CAN SAY WE WILL DO THIS AND THAT BUT IT IS ‘UNFAIR’ TO TELL OTHERS HOW IMPORTANT AND NEEDED YOU ARE.
It is slanderous:
If the opposition can do the same or do better what is the point of saying you can do so? Without the opposition having been found wanting in office how can you say so righteously?
WITHOUT YOUR ADVERSARIES PROVING THEMSELVES WANTING, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO IMPLY SO AND IT IS A FORM OF SLANDER.
Tolerance is evil, hypocritical never good:
The common understanding amongst men, even if they never practice what they preach is that it is good to be tolerant when the truth is that tolerance like intolerance is evil, hypocritical never good. Nowhere did the Buddha or Jesus preached tolerance except in your delusion they do.
JUST AS INTOLERANCE IS EVIL, TOLERANCE TOO IS EVIL, HYPOCRITICAL.
If something is false, evil, harmful or meaningless, it should not be tolerated but censured and expelled totally. If something is true, good, beneficial and meaningful, it does not require your tolerance but it requires upholding and development. If something is false or hypocritical eg racial tolerance and you practice it, you are evil, hypocritical not good.
Racial tolerance means you are aware of race, of ‘us’ versus ‘them’ and you have a tendency to discriminate that you refrain from practicing that makes you an hypocrite because you harbour discrimination, racial consciousness.
The person with true understanding knows that racial intolerance is evil, mad and he banishes all considerations of race in his dealings, he is not practicing racial tolerance but to him the issue of race does not arise.
WHAT I SAY MAY BE WRONG, IF WHAT I SAY IS RIGHT, HOW COME NO PREACHERS TEACH YOU THIS AS I DO? IF I DID NOT POINT THIS OUT TO YOU, NO ONE WILL. WHAT I SAY IS IN ACCORD WITH THE BUDDHA AND JESUS, NOWHERE DID THEY SAY YOU SHOULD BE TOLERANT, YOU SHOULD BE INTOLERANT OF EVEN THE SLIGHTEST EVIL, SHOULD NOT CONDONE OR UPHOLD IT, IF SOMETHING IS TRUE OR GOOD, IT DOES NOT NEED YOUR TOLERANCE, IT NEEDS YOUR UPHOLDING.
THE ONLY WAY THAT HUMANS CAN CONSISTENTLY UNDERSTAND TOLERANCE AS GOOD AND MERITORIOUS WHEN IT IS THE OPPOSITE IS IF THEIR FALSE UNDERSTANDING IS BY REHASH, BRAINWASHED BY SOCIETY AND THEN REHASHED WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.
Hypocritical and robotic enforced tolerance:
There are two elements of tolerance namely hypocrisy and mindless force driven enforcement.
There is the case someone preaches tolerance hypocritically when it suits him and it is to his advantage but as soon as it disadvantages him, all tolerance is thrown out of the window.
Thus he preaches racial tolerance if he derives economic or material benefits from coexisting with the other races but as soon as his special rights are trampled or encroached or the benefits stop flowing or sacrifice is demanded of him, he reneges on his tolerance and starts to threaten.
The Buddha truly has no interest in sex, he is not restraining himself refraining his sexual desire. There is the case of someone who has or harbour sexual desires and he uses force to suppress, not express those urges and this too is hypocritical or artificially robotically force constrained that is subject to failure. In the same way, it is not that the person has no racial prejudice, he has but he uses force to suppress expression of those prejudices in which he is actually a hypocrite acting and speaking as if he is tolerant and no matter how he restrains expression, there is lurking even demonic racial intolerance. He may succeed in never acting intolerantly racially but it is contrived, restrained never genuine.
THERE IS NEVER TOLERANCE THAT IS GENUINE, WHOLESOME AND GOOD, IT IS ALWAYS AN ACT, FOR SHOW FOR SPECIFIC MOTIVES OR GAINS. HE HARBOURS RESERVATIONS ABOUT THE OTHER RACES, HATE THEIR PRACTICES, HE THINKS HIS RACE IS SUPERIOR BUT FOR THE SAKE OF DERIVING BENEFITS HE GOES ALONG AND PRACTICE TOLERANCE AND THINKS HE IS GOOD.
Tolerance is laxity and laxity is evil:
Tolerance is laxity and rather than good, laxity is evil and dangerous, opening the door to danger.
As the Buddha said, you must guard the truth, see danger (to yourself) in the slightest of faults, so how can the man of truth and goodness be tolerant, be lax?
Listening, understanding and practicing:
Everyone here suffers, even to tormenting homicidal suicidal levels, no matter how successful, wealthy and replete with sensual pleasures they are and there is only one path out of suffering and it requires listening to, truly understanding what is heard and putting into action what is understood.
There are many who will not listen to anything suggesting religion or spiritual and the only reason is because they do not truly listen, their listening is actually programmed, there are things they program themselves to listen (eg how to make money, how to chase girls) and there are things they are never programmed to do (listen to talks about spiritual matters) or they are programmed to despise or reject.
AT THE HEART OF IT, WHY SOME PEOPLE REFUSE TO LISTEN EVEN BEFORE THEY HAVE HEARD IS THAT THEIR LISTENING IS NEVER TRUE BUT PROGRAMMED. IT IS PROGRAMS THAT TELL THEM WHAT TO HEAR AND WHAT NOT TO HEAR AND IF THERE ARE NO PROGRAMS THAT TELL THEM TO LISTEN TO CERTAIN MATTERS, THEY ARE AT LOSS AND DECLINE TO LISTEN.
After listening, many fail to understand what is said because they do not have true understanding, what they are seeking is programming, programming by others (eg teach or train them how to examine patients or assembly an electronic board) or instructions that they can record in their mental jukeboxes to be rehashed and follow as instructed.
THERE ARE MANY WHO WILL LISTEN BUT THEY CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SAID (EG THERE ARE CONSTANT STRETCHING OF SYLLABLES, CHANGES IN SPEED AND LOUDNESS THAT IS MEANINGLESS, FOR SHOW AND CAUSES RENEWING STRESS, RESTLESSNESS AND DISTRACTION) BECAUSE THEY CANNOT SEE THEMSELVES DOING SO.
For those who truly understood what is said to them, it is a matter of course and time that they will put into practice what they heard and understood because nobody enjoys suffering and even if they did not know there is an eternity of suffering ahead of them, they are subject to fear and anxiety about their future.
IT IS TO BE EXPECTED THAT IF SOMEONE TRULY UNDERSTOOD, HE WILL PUT INTO PRACTICE WHAT HE UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE THAT IS THE PATH OUT OF THE TERRIBLE SUFFERING THAT BESET THEM AND WILL LEAD TO EVEN MORE TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
The truth about our high tech economic miracle:
Between 1979 and 2005 the, after-tax income of Americans in the middle of the income distribution rose 21 per cent; for the richest 0.1 percent rose 400 per cent.
Why do Republicans advocate further tax cuts for the very rich even as they warn about deficits and demand drastic cuts in social insurance programs?
The usual answer is that the super-elite are “job creators” — that is, that they make a special contribution to the economy.
(This may be a twisted self serving argument, not all of them are job creators and even if they create jobs it is to facilitate the transfer of wealth from the system to their pockets that serve to drain wealth from the system to the hands of the few. Further such job creation may be abusive and transient, once the wealth is drained, the jobs disappear or workers are fired; in effect workers have been taken for a temporary employment ride in which they may have foolishly undertaken even fatal debts)
Don’t some of the very rich get that way by producing innovations that are worth far more to the world than the income they receive? It is mostly myth than reality.
Who are the 0.1 per cent (income earners)? Very few of them are Steve Jobs-type innovators; most of them are corporate bigwigs and financial wheeler-dealers. 43 per cent are executives at nonfinancial companies, 18 per cent in finance and another 12 per cent are lawyers or in real estate.
Executive pay skyrocketed over the past generation, set by boards of directors appointed by the very people whose pay they determine; poorly performing C.E.O.’s still get lavish pay checks and fired executives often receive millions as they go out the door.
Much of the value created by modern finance was a mirage. Seemingly high returns simply reflected increased risk-taking — risk that was mostly borne not by the wheeler-dealers themselves but by naïve investors or by taxpayers, who ended up holding the bag when it all went wrong. “If risk-making were a value-adding activity, Russian roulette players (with the gun pointed at others’ heads not theirs’) would contribute disproportionately to global welfare.”
Microsoft may have played out Word Perfect:
In litigation that is on-going, it is alleged in the run-up to Windows 95, Microsoft provided Word Perfect with development tools that it then suddenly dropped making Word Perfect incompatible with the new Windows 95 resulting in customers shifting from Word Perfect to Microsoft’s own Word program. Bill Gates denies it is sabotage saying that there were security risks allowing Word Perfect access.
Exactly what happened can be known and if Microsoft is guilty of exterminating rivals by unfair means, there is karma. What is fair by human legal terms may not be fair by divine standards and if in addition Gates lied to cover up Microsoft’s misdeeds, there is additional karma to be experienced as future suffering for him.
THUS BEHIND MANY SUCCESS STORIES, THERE IS SUBTERFUGE, DIRTY TRICKS AND CHEATING THAT HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES IN FUTURE SUFFERING FOR THE EVIL MEN RESPONSIBLE.
YOU MAY DENY WHAT YOU DID BUT THAT IS GOING TO ADD TO YOUR SUFFERING AND YOU WILL GO MAD BECAUSE TO DENY WHAT IS TRUE IS FALSE IS TO SAY SHIT IS FOOD AND ONE DAY YOU WILL EAT THE SHIT YOU SAY IS FOOD AND THAT IS MAD.
