Obama's Egyptian balancing act



Obama's Egyptian balancing act
Whatever is an act is not true but for show. Balancing is false and so are all acts.
Anyone whose actions is to balance is lapsing in falsity and wrong, embracing suffering.
Whatever actions that are true is not to balance or pander to disparate demands and interests but the correct or right or good response to a situation. You need to calculate, scheme to balance and that is never good but bad and asking for suffering.
BALANCING SHOULD NEVER BE A CONSIDERATION IN YOUR SPEECH OR ACTION IF YOU WISH TO ESCAPE DIFFICULTIES AND SUFFERING. IF YOU BALANCE YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE SUFFERING NOW AND LATER IN DEBT REPAYMENT.
This is always a statement of delusion and if you do not know what to make of it or you accept it, you must do so with stirred resistance that conditions you to (indiscriminately) resist everything presented to you and leads to stress.
Everything that is active is subject to wear and tear and so if your brain is always active you will wear it down rather than keep dementia at bay.
The heart is constantly active because it needs to keep blood constantly flowing to sustain all the organs, you need to constantly breath to survive but there is no true reason for the mind to be constantly active unless there is some mental work to be done otherwise it would be saner, more peaceful to shutdown to minimal level.
The cause of dementia is not a lack of activity of the brain but because ordinary people record and rehash from recording the entire substance and style of what they perceive (see, hear, smell, taste, touch), think, speak and do and this means their mental recording and replay facility is constantly abusively used such that it finally fails and without a working record and playback machine the person is incapable of doing or saying what he used to say or do with ease in the past. Thus the demented man cannot pull the release lever in his car door to get out, he cannot return home from the corner shop he has done so many times in the past.
DEMENTIA IS CAUSED BY A WORN OUT MENTAL RECORD PLAYBACK MACHINE IN THE PERSON’S MIND AND IT IS WORN OUT BECAUSE EVERYTHING ORDINARY STYLISH PEOPLE SAY OR DO IS BY REHASH, RETRIEVING FROM RECORDING AND PLAYING IT BACK THAT ULTIMATELY WEARS OUT THAT RECORD PLAYBACK MECHANISM RENDERING THE FOOL INCAPABLE OF SAYING OR DOING EVEN SIMPLE THINGS HE HAS DONE UMPTEEN TIMES IN THE PAST.
IF YOU KEEP YOUR BRAIN ACTIVE IN THE HOPE OF AVOIDING DEMENTIA THEN YOU ARE PRACTICING CONTROLLED INSANITY BECAUSE YOU ACTIVATE YOUR MIND IF THERE IS SOMETHING NEEDED TO THINK NOT TO WARD OFF DEMENTIA.
Dangerous false logic:
GEORGE TOWN: The fight against crime never takes a break – as shown by a policeman on holiday here from China who helped catch a snatch thief.
Just because a Chinese cop on holiday here helped arrest a snatch thief does not warrant the false logical conclusion the fight against crime never takes a break. False logic is never harmless but one day it can kill you and you are creating karma not merit advocating false logic for others to emulate.
Obama the consummate hypocrite:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama expressed deep concern about the Egyptian military's removal of President Mohamed Mursi on Wednesday but stopped short of condemning a move that could lead to a cut-off in U.S. aid.
So this is Obama’s balancing act. He has to be seen to be supporting the elected government so he expresses (hypocritical) concern for the ouster but privately he is not displeased for the replacement of an Islamic government with a more secular military one.
ALL BALANCING ACTS ARE ABOUT FALSITY IN ACTION THAT HAVE DEADLY KARMIC CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE WHO DO SO. OBAMA IS A CONSUMMATE HYPOCRITE.
The hazards of Labour ideals:
If something is the truth it is never Labour (party) ideals and so if it is Labor ideals that you are exhorting others not to forget you are advocating falsity with karma not merit.
News Limited can reveal Ms Gillard had not a single bad word for Kevin Rudd and urged up to 100 MPs and staff - who descended on the official Prime Minister's residence - not to forget their Labor ideals and get behind the new leader.
There are lots of governments all over the world that are in a similar position as Portugal.
IF YOU ARE FULL OF DEBTS NOW AND CANNOT MAKE ENDS MEET WITHOUT HAVING TO BORROW MORE, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE FUTURE, SOMEHOW, YOU WILL FIND A MEANS TO REPAY ALL THAT YOU HAVE BORROWED IN THE PAST AND WHAT YOU NOW WANT TO BORROW?
STILL YOU HAVE CELEBRATED INTELLECTS LIKE PAUL KRUGMAN WHO THINKS DEBT IS NOT A PROBLEM, GOVERNMENTS MUST KEEP SPENDING WHAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP PEOPLE EMPLOYED (EVEN THOSE HIGHLY PAID TO DO USELESS JOBS), NOT TO SPEND WOULD BE A DISASTER.
Mankind does not understand its debt cancer:
It is possible to understand mankind’s debt situation and no supernatural powers are needed yet even its top intellects and experts in the field are clueless, barking up the wrong tree, in denial and fantasy about the extent and gravity of its debt.
Many nations have borrowed a lot yet what was borrowed was squandered, siphoned off by corrupt politicians, spent wastefully in consumption that never returns anything or spent building prestigious white elephants (like stadiums and bridges that lead to nowhere), spent employing people paid highly for dispensable or useless jobs.
And so if governments were to repay their mountainous debts they can have little help from what they borrowed to spent on (they are largely squandered) and so to repay they or the people must roll up their sleeves and slog in austerity to repay, many highly paid doing useless jobs must be fired and that means nations must spend many years in a debt repayment purgatory that they may never emerge.
Not only must you repay principals of your debt you must service or repay the interests and whilst you are repaying, a large chunk of your income is out of bounds to you, you must live in austerity which depresses the economy.
YOU SHOULD ONLY BORROW SHORT TERM TO SPEND ON SOMETHING THAT WILL REPAY YOUR DEBT EVEN MORE.
SO WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REPAY YOUR DEBT OR HAVE YOU NO INTENTION OF REPAYING YOUR MOUNTAINOUS DEBTS?
THE FACT THAT NATIONS FULL OF DEBT CANNOT MAKE ENDS MEET BUT MUST DESPERATELY BORROW MORE REFLECTS THEY HAVE SQUANDERED WHAT THEY BORROWED THAT WILL NOT HELP THEM REPAY AND SO NOW IF THEY WERE TO PAY THEY WILL HAVE TO CUT OFF ALL WASTE AND WORK TO REPAY DEBT PLUS INTERESTS AND THEIR LIFE STYLES SEVERELY CRIMPED BY AUSTERITY AS LARGE PART OF THEIR INCOME GO TO DEBT REPAYMENT.
IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE MANKIND COULD EVER FULFILL ITS DEBT OBLIGATIONS WHICH ARE INSOLUBLE, LIKE A CANCER THAT IS TERMINAL.
Signs it is a debt Armageddon:
In the face of punishing costs of borrowing as is currently the situation, a nation whose debts are manageable is able to stop further borrowing, at least service his interest payments so as not to default and able to survive comfortably without assistance from further borrowing.
IF YOU CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT BORROWING MORE, YOU CANNOT EVEN SERVICE THE INTEREST OF YOUR DEBT YOU HAVE A FAT HOPE EVER REPAYING YOUR DEBTS.
Right mindfulness and right effort:
These two are important factors of the eightfold path that delivers the successful practitioner from suffering and endless death.
Entrenched evil will never go easily and goodness will never grow in a person without persistent effort to eliminate habitual mindless automated evil speech and actions and before you can do that you must have right mindfulness, pay attention to the presence of evil and good qualities in your daily conduct so that you can painstakingly dismantle evil and harmful conduct and develop and mature good conduct.
IN ORDER TO ESCAPE SUFFERING AND ENDLESS DEATH YOU MUST HAVE RIGHT MINDFULNESS, PAY ATTENTION TO GOOD AND BAD CONDUCT (RATHER THAN PAY ATTENTION TO HOW MUCH MONEY YOU CAN MAKE AND WHAT GOOD FOOD THERE IS TO EAT) AND YOU MUST MAKE RIGHT EFFORT TO ERADICATE BAD CONDUCT AND DEVELOP GOOD CONDUCT.
WHAT THE BUDDHA SAID IS CORRECT AND ESSENTIAL AND SO HE CANNOT BE A FAKE. NOT EVEN JESUS TAUGHT IN THIS ORGANIZED COMPREHENSIVE WAY AS THE BUDDHA LAID DOWN AND HE SAYS HE IS THE HIGHEST TEACHER, NO ONE IS FIT TO TEACH HIM.
Right attention:
At any moment there are many things especially sights and sounds that impinges on your consciousness and the skilful person knows the things he ought to pay attention to and things he ought to ignore eg a scantily dressed female trying to stir desire. Instead he pays attention like a hawk to even slight distress rising in various parts of his body and mind and then to take immediately action to dispel the unpleasant sensations in his mind and body.
THE PERSON WHO PAYS ATTENTION LIKE A HAWK TO UNPLEASANT SENSATIONS ARISING IN HIS MIND AND BODY AND TAKES IMMEDIATE ACTION TO CORRECT HAS RIGHT ATTENTION OR MINDFULNESS, THE PERSON WHO IS EYEING GIRLS, MONEY, IPADS AND IPHONES HAS WRONG ATTENTION THAT ENDS IN ENDLESS DEATH AND SUFFERING.
Wrong effort:
Time and energy spent developing your golfing or tennis or chess or music playing skills are wrong effort and leads to woe.
Time and effort spent developing good conduct and destroying bad conduct is right effort that leads to heavenly bliss and eternal life.
Without right attention and effort you cannot escape suffering and death:
Without wisely, skilfully practicing right attention and effort, a person cannot escape suffering and endless death, cross the sea so difficult to cross to heaven.
He must know the right things to pay attention to (suffering creeping into his mind and body) and the things he should ignore (sensual allures), he must make effort to develop his virtue and must not make wrong effort eg to make more money, to seek sensate gratifications, hone his tennis, golf or gaming skills.
F1 drivers threaten German GP boycott:
If you think something (boycott) is the right thing to do, then boycott the GP, do not threaten which is the wrong reason for doing and has karma to be repaid as suffering.
By threatening, you want to do something (boycott) not because it is meaningful or correct but to get what you want, action regarding tyres. Doing things for the wrong reasons (threatening to get what you want) is controlled insanity that ends in insanity and it has karma to be repaid by suffering for threatening others.
THREATENING ANOTHER INCURS KARMA TO BE REPAID AS FUTURE SUFFERING THAT THE BUDDHA SAID IS AS VAST AS AN OCEAN FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE.
IF YOU THINK NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE GERMAN GP IS THE CORRECT THING TO DO, GO AHEAD, DO NOT THREATEN OTHERS. BOYCOTTING THE GERMAN GP TO GET WHAT YOU WANT, ACTION ON DANGEROUS TYRES IS THE WRONG REASON FOR DOING SOMETHING (FALSE LOGIC) THAT ENDS IN MAD LOGIC.
AND SO IF WHAT I SAY IS CORRECT, ANYONE WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND LIKE I DO HAS WRONG OR NO UNDERSTANDING AND THIS MUST STIR SELF RESISTANCE WHENEVER ANYTHING IS PRESENTED TO HIM OR WHENEVER HE PERCEIVES.
Google Drive causing Windows Explorer to crash:
Recently I experienced increasingly frequent crashes of Windows explorer and when I searched the internet I was faced with complicated procedures to cure the problem. Then I had a hunch or insight that maybe Google Drive which is linked to the explorer was causing the problem when the computer is online (my home computer which is not online seems trouble free). The reason may be some incompatibility either Google or Microsoft sabotage that causes the explorer to crash each time you change the explorer that now has Google Drive meshed with it.
After uninstalling Google Drive the problem has not recurred so far.
It reflects no understanding, doubt and uncertainty that a person would even ponder the question.
SPYING IS NEVER OK IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. IT IS SECRETLY STEALING INFORMATION WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE PARTY STOLEN FROM AND HAS KARMA NEVER MERIT.
THE BUDDHA TAUGHT, ‘DO NOT TAKE WHAT IS NOT GIVEN’. INFORMATION OTHERS DID NOT GIVE YOU SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN UNLESS YOU WANT TO SUFFER IN REPAYMENT.
Egypt: A step back or forward?
This question was posed on a news website and it is deluded.
It is going around in circles, and then all order will collapse and it will end in anarchy not just Egypt but globally. This is the story of mankind, as the Buddha said you have already shed your own blood greater than the four great oceans and still you are here.
MANKIND NEVER GOES FORWARD EXCEPT IN HIS DELUSION HE DOES AND HE IS ALREADY BACKWARD, THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER BACK FOR HIM TO FALL BACK ON.
The Buddha: "There comes a time when the great earth is consumed with flame, is destroyed & does not exist. But for beings -- as long as they are hindered by ignorance, fettered by craving, transmigrating & wandering on -- I don't say that there is an end of suffering & stress.
"Just as a dog, tied by a leash to a post or stake, keeps running around and circling around that very post or stake; in the same way, an uninstructed, run-of-the-mill person -- who has no regard for noble ones, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma; who has no regard for people of integrity, is not well-versed or disciplined in their Dhamma -- assumes form to be the self, or the self as possessing form, or form as in the self, or the self as in form.
Mankind as a group never progresses:
Things change, scenery changes, technology changes but mankind as a group never changes or progresses, in his heart and mind are these three fetters ill will (wish to harm others, attack others), greed (desire to acquire wealth, females, fame, status) and delusion.
Few are they who understand, mankind as a group is thoroughly deluded and always on his back foot and so there is no more back for him to fall back and he never goes forward as a group except in appearance, in style never substance or meaning.
LIKE ALCATRAZ THE EARTH IS A VERY STRONGLY BUILT PRISON TO HOUSE HARDCORE PRISONERS (HUMANS) YET MANKIND WILL RUIN IT, DESTROY IT IN NEXT TO NO TIME. MANKIND ONLY APPEARED ABOUT 100,000 TO 1 MILLION YEARS AGO AND IT IS ALREADY TIME TO SAY ADIEU.
So long as there is style there can be no meaningful changes:
All beings here, even insects have style, there is audible, visible prolonging, changing speed and strength (loudness) in ALL their motions and sounds they make.
FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND, THERE CAN BE NO MEANINGFUL PROGRESS SO LONG AS A PERSON OR BEING IS BESET BY STYLE, THERE IS AUDIBLE VISIBLE PROLONGING OF UNITS OF SPEECH OR MOTION, CHANGES IN SPEED AND STRENGTH (LOUDNESS). HE IS MERELY GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES EVEN ENDLESSLY FOR ETERNITY AFTER ETERNITY TRAPPED IN THE LOWER REALMS, SUFFERING, SHEDDING HIS TEARS AND BLOOD THE BUDDHA SAID IS GREATER THAN THE FOUR GREAT OCEANS.
AS SOON AS HE SHEDS HIS STYLE, HE IS BORN AGAIN, INCOMPARABLY HAPPIER HERE AND HEADED FOR ONE AGE OR ETERNITY IN HEAVEN.
The danger and suffering of doing what is useless:
Whatever said or done that is unnecessary can occur anytime and whatever can occur anytime can occur all the time and that is always terrible never a pleasure.
Everything a person says or does (eg smile, dance, play tennis, stretching syllables) can be examined and determined to be useful and necessary or useless and unnecessary.
If you do what is useless or unnecessary or for show only then you are setting up yourself for tormenting restlessness and mad inappropriate behaviour in the future.
Because unnecessary for show, useless behaviour does not require true reason to occur it can anytime so long as the fool desires to carry it out and if you keep willing yourself to do or say things that are for show, useless or unnecessary then in time there develops a strong even irresistible urge to say or do things that are meaningless, unnecessary and that is always tormenting, suffering and maddening and when it finally overwhelms you in uncontrollable insanity.
WHATEVER SAID OR DONE THAT IS TRUE AND MEANINGFUL REQUIRES REASON FOR IT TO BE SAID OR DONE AND SO IT CANNOT OCCUR AT ANY TIME BUT ONLY AT TIMES WHEN THERE IS REASON TO SAY OR DO IT.
WHATEVER SAID OR DONE THAT IS NOT TRUE, MEANINGLESS, FOR SHOW TO PLEASE AND IMPRESS OTHERS DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY REASON TO OCCUR AND SO IT CAN OCCUR ANYTIME AND WHAT CAN OCCUR ANYTIME CAN OCCUR ALL THE TIME AND THAT IS MAD, TORMENTING.
AND SO IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO MAD, DO NOT WANT TO SUFFER BETTER MAKE SURE WHAT YOU SAY OR DO IS NECESSARY, OTHERWISE INSANITY AWAITS YOU.
JOKING IS UNNECESSARY AND MEANINGLESS AND SO IF YOU LIKE TO JOKE, MAD JOKING AND RESTLESSNESS AWAITS YOU.
You don’t care about what you say or do?
You don’t care whether what you say is true or not, accurate or inaccurate, meaningful or meaningless, so long as you get what you want saying it, it clinches a sale? Then you are a fool courting insanity and will get it.
If what you say is meaningless, false, then no matter how you swear it is meaningful and true, because it is useless and false, it requires no reason for it to recur (it can occur anytime) and if you keep willing yourself to say it then in time to come it can and want to occur all the time and that is mad.
IF YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT SUFFERING OR INSANITY THEN YOU SHOULD NOT CARE WHETHER WHAT YOU SAY IS NECESSARY OR NOT, MEANINGFUL OR NOT. IF YOU CARE ABOUT SUFFERING AND MADNESS THEN YOU SHOULD SCRUPULOUSLY MAKE SURE WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE AND MEANINGFUL OTHERWISE YOU ARE DOOMED TO SUFFERING AND INSANITY.
Supposed there is significant electoral fraud to contend with and this more than any other factor will determine the outcome of the election, would what he said not mislead others and so he is guilty of falsity with karma attached?
If you ignore electoral fraud when it is significant and you venture to give others your opinion as to the course of the election then you are foolishly setting yourself up for suffering, now and later in repayment.
The election outcome is actually an unessential item and should be ignored rather than attention paid and so that is wrong attention or mindfulness that leads to future even eternal woe.
Why you cannot stop rushing (and smiling):
It is because rushing (and smiling) are totally unnecessary and so do not require reason or occasion to happen and you keep rushing (and smiling) to impress and please others (eg how sincere and hardworking you are) that it now becomes a habit to rush and smile and rather the happiness it is touted to be, rushing (and smiling) are tormenting and if you do not make (right) effort to stop rushing and smiling you are doomed to insane rushing and smiling.
RUSHING AND SMILING ARE MEANINGLESS, EXPRESSED TO PLEASE AND IMPRESS OTHERS AND SO IF YOU KEEP RUSHING AND SMILING TO IMPRESS AND PLEASE OTHERS, IN TIME THEY OCCUR ALL THE TIME AND RATHER THAN HAPPINESS THEY CAN BE EXASPERATING, TORMENTING EVEN TO SUICIDAL HOMICIDAL LEVELS.
To stop rushing is right effort:
To stop rushing is right effort that leads to escape from suffering.
To keep rushing is wrong effort that leads to insanity.
The Buddha said the teaching he declared cannot be refuted by any recluse, Mara (Satan) or Brahma (god) and so it is, it does not matter if you are Christian or whatever, if you do not make right effort (Jesus said he who obeys what he commands and thus make right effort, is the one who loves him), you ‘ain’t goin nowhere’ except back here.
Without making effort no one can stop rushing:
OK you never rush, suppose you did rush and it is suffering and evil and there is no rushing in heaven that harms self and others then without stopping rushing there can be no escape from suffering here and after you die.
MANY ARE UNAWARE THEY ARE RUSHING EVEN WHEN THERE IS SIGNIFICANT RUSHING IN THEIR SPEECH AND ACTIONS.
BEFORE YOU CAN STOP RUSHING YOU MUST PAY (RIGHT) ATTENTION TO YOUR SPEECH AND ACTIONS TO DETECT RUSHING RATHER PAY (WRONG) ATTENTION TO THE VOLUPTUOUS GIRL SAUNTERING BEFORE YOUR EYES AND THEN YOU MUST MAKE RIGHT PERSISTENT EFFORT TO STOP RUSHING, MAINTAIN IT MAKE SURE RUSHING NEVER FLARES UP AGAIN FROM THE SMOULDERING AMBERS OF RUSHING EMBEDDED IN YOUR MIND. JESUS SAID HE WHO ENDURES TILL THE END WILL BE SAVED AND SO IF IN THE END YOU GIVE IN AND START RUSHING LIKE THE REST, YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED.
THUS RIGHT ATTENTION AND RIGHT EFFORT ARE CRUCIAL IN ORDER FOR A BEING TO ESCAPE SUFFERING AND ENDLESS DEATH.
The foremost right effort:
Can you instantly play excellent golf or piano? You must make persistent effort, wrong effort to play excellent golf or piano and the fact that it is right effort reflects delusion not truth.
Can you instantly stop rushing? If you agree you cannot then the effort you make to finally succeed in stopping all rushing is right effort that leads to escape from suffering here and after you die.
What is the foremost right effort?
It is the effort to eliminate one’s style or use of force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness whose success gives the first higher state of mind that is the key to one Age in heaven that must be achieved before one can achieve the other higher states of mind namely cessation of thinking, neither like nor dislike, neither pain nor pleasure.
Can you instantly stop stretching your syllables, stop changing speed and loudness?
If you cannot then the effort you put to stop them is the foremost right effort and its success gives the first higher state of mind whose reward is one Age in heaven and which makes possible achieving of the three higher states of mind.
Malaysia can be world champs:
It is not a matter that Malaysia should strive to be world champs but what it does should be excellent, good. One should not even think about being world champs with what one does. Suffice one should be diligent, conscientious in one’s endeavours.
And so the statement reflects delusion, wrong understanding of what matters and does not matter in one’s undertakings.
IT IS NOT PRIDE THAT SHOULD BE THE BASIS OF YOUR UNDERTAKING BUT IT IS CONSCIENTIOUSNESS, RESPONSIBILITY WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WANTING TO BE WORLD CHAMPS, WANTING TO BEAT OTHERS.
Market, media impressed by Mark Carney:
As his first week as the Bank of England's governor ends, Mark Carney appears to have impressed the markets, the media, and even a group of female protestors.
By impressed is meant your mental force is stirred to like him and herein is proof mankind has no true understanding that is lost on deluded people.
If you say your perception of him is based on a true understanding of him, why do you speak about being impressed instead of a good assessment of him?
Once a person’s mental force is stirred to be impressed or unimpressed by someone, he is already blinded by force, by prejudice (like or dislike) that renders him incapable of objective appraisal of the person. In fact his stirred mental force is his understanding of the person that is based on blind meaningless stirred force that can never understand.
Only a person whose mental force is not stirred by things happening can objectively truly understand what is happening, the stirring of mental force fatally ruins a person to see things as they actually are and there renders him incapable of truly understanding what is presented.
You need to develop a certain high concentration of your mind to be not stirred by things presented and because ordinary people’s concentration is low, scattered, they cannot help being stirred, being impressed and unimpressed.
He is a foreigner who was hired at great expense to helm the Bank of England but it is all delusion, he is never going to be the financial saviour of England.
EVEN A CURSORY PERCEPTION OF HIM TELLS THE PERSON WITH DISCERNMENT HE WILL NEVER BE ENGLAND’S FINANCIAL SAVIOUR AND IT REFLECTS DELUSION THEY HAVE GREAT EXPECTATIONS OF HIM.
A PERSON’S STIRRED MENTAL FORCE TO BE IMPRESSED OR UNIMPRESSED IS HIS BLIND FORCE BASED UNDERSTANDING AND SO IT IS ALWAYS FALSE, DELUDED, DANGEROUS AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THE PERSON UNDERSTANDS TRULY. YOU NEED VERY HIGH CONCENTRATION NOT TO BE STIRRED BY OTHERS AND A PERSON OF TRUE UNDERSTANDING IS NEVER IMPRESSED BY ANYTHING BUT HE CALMLY UNPREJUDICALLY APPRAISES THE PERSON OR MATTER AT HAND.
Force can never understand anything:
Give force something to do and it will do it, you need force to do things but the thing force can never do is understand anything because force is blind.
FORCE HAS STRENGTH AND QUANTITY, ONCE STIRRED WHAT IT CAN DO IS SEIZE A TARGET AND MOVE IT BUT FORCE IS BLIND, CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND ANYTHING AT ALL.
AND SO ANYONE WHO STIRS HIS BLIND MENTAL FORCE THAT CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND ANYTHING TO GREET A SUBJECT IS DELUDED. BY BEING IMPRESSED BY SOMEONE YOU ARE SAYING BLIND, DEVOID OF UNDERSTANDING MENTAL FORCE IS STIRRED BY THAT PERSON AND THE REASON YOU SAY THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE MISTAKEN, YOU FALSELY PERCEIVE THIS STIRRED BLIND FORCE THAT NEVER UNDERSTANDS IS MEANINGFUL.
FORCE CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND ANYTHING SO WHY ARE YOU STIRRING YOUR BLIND MENTAL FORCE THAT NEVER UNDERSTANDS TO GREET EVERYTHING? ARE MAD OR A FOOL WHO WILL GO MAD?

Signing up to the organ donor register takes two minutes and is arguably the most useful thing most of us could do today.
Anyone who speaks of most useful thing is calculating and deluded headed for woe.
It is never the most useful thing you’ll do today but everything you do must be meaningful, based on true reason (not emotion or false reasons eg to impress others).
SOMETHING IS EITHER WITH TRUE REASON OR MEANING OR NOT, TRUTH HAS NO INTENSITY, NO MOST AND LEAST TRUE REASON AND YOU MUST ENDEAVOR OR MAKE RIGHT EFFORT TO ENSURE EVERYTHING, NOT SOMETHINGS YOU DO TODAY IS WITH TRUE MEANING OR REASON.
THE PERSON WHO WOULD CONSIDER THE MOST USEFUL THING YOU WILL DO TODAY IS A CALCULATING MAN FULLY IMMERSED IN THIS WORLD AND HEADING FOR EVEN ETERNAL PERISHING. EVERYTHING YOU DO MUST HAVE MEANING, PURPOSE THAT IS TRUE AND GOOD AND THAT IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ‘USEFUL’.

The Bank of England is at the forefront of a new era. It’s the end of targeting just inflation – but how will also targeting financial stability work?
If targeting inflation was the mission of central bankers in the past, it means you have robots running robot central banks without true understanding and that is a recipe for disaster and so disaster has come to past.
IT TAKES CENTRAL BANKERS WHO ARE ROBOTS, WHO DO NOT HAVE TRUE UNDERSTANDING TO CARRY OUT THE BLIND RULE, ‘TARGET INFLATION’ OR JUST KEEP INFLATION UNDER CONTROL. AND SO THE NEW MISSION OR MOTTO IS ‘FINACIAL STABILITY’ AND THE NEWLY PROGRAMMED CENTRAL BANKING ROBOTS WILL MINDLESSLY GO TO WORK WITH THIS NEW PROGRAMMING IN THEIR MENTAL CPUS.
YOU HAVE FOOLS, ROBOTS WITHOUT TRUE UNDERSTANDING RUNNING THE BANKING SYSTEM, HOW NOT TO END IN DISASTER?
YOU THINK NOTHING, YOU THINK IT IS CLEVER TO TARGET INFLATION BUT IT IS DANGEROUS, THERE ARE MORE DANGERS TO AN ECONOMY AND FINANCIAL SYSTEM THAT INFLATION. HOW ABOUT ROGUE BANKERS CREATING BOGUS DERIVATIVES THAT BESTOW GREAT LEVERAGED RISKS ON THE SYSTEM?
The inflation may be low but all is not well:
It is dangerous to target inflation as a central banking mission.
Just because inflation is low does not mean the economy is healthy, a volcanic eruption is not brewing beneath the surface.
Thus in recent years it may be outsourcing production to China with its cheap labour and the US keeps paying with pieces of paper it prints rather than earns that is responsible for low inflation, this is not genuine low inflation but artificial contrived low inflation. Inflation may be low but there may be a criminal gang of investment bankers undermining the system with derivatives that magnify greatly the risk of system collapse, by making it falsely safe to lend (because someone is covering or ensuring your lending when no one is covering).
ROBOTS WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING NEED TO BE TOLD BY OTHERS OR THEMSELVES WHAT TO DO OR THEY ARE LOST, AND SO THEY NEED CREEDS, PROGRAMS LIKE ‘TARGET INFLATION’ KEEP INFLATION UNDER CONTROL AND ALL WILL BE FINE.
INFLATION WAS LOW IN RECENT YEARS AND EVEN TODAY BUT ALL WAS FAR FROM WELL OTHERWISE THIS CRISIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THUS IT IS FOOLHARDY TO ‘TARGET INFLATION’.
What kind of inflation targeting was it?
Many items have inflated in price considerably and so if you were to target inflation, interest rates should have been raised considerably.
Bankers have a basket of items that they monitor and this has failed. Property prices have soared and this is actually a form of serious inflation that should have been clamped down. Many items like food (a pack of nasi lemak that cost 20 sens in the past now cost $1.20) and so central bankers have failed in their robotic mission to clamp down on inflation or the yardsticks they devised were shabby.
IF BANKERS HAVE RAISED RATES CONSIDERABLY TO CLAMPDOWN ON BORROWING ALL THE DISASTER TODAY MAY HAVE BEEN AVERTED. AN ECONOMY’S GROWTH SHOULD NEVER BE DEPENDENT ON DEBT AND SO BORROWING SHOULD BE MADE DIFFICULT FOR SAFETY REASONS.
Andy Murray: Ferguson taught me how to handle pressure
Anyone who teaches another how to cope, handle the pressure is creating karma never merit for himself and it reflects delusion you think it is good.
Pressure and suffering is to be exited never coped or handled which requires the use of force according to a plan to resist and control suffering that trains you to remain exposed to the causes of suffering and bond you even tighter to suffering and so anyone who teaches you how to cope is your nemesis not benefactor, anyone who shows you the way out of suffering is your true benefactor.
HERE AGAIN IT REFLECTS WRONG UNDERSTANDING BY HUMANS THAT IT IS GOOD IF SOMEONE TEACHES YOU HOW TO COPE WITH PRESSURE AND SUFFERING. PRESSURE AND SUFFERING ALWAYS HAVE CAUSES THAT MUST BE EXPOSED AND ELIMINATED SO THAT ONE ESCAPES FROM STRESS AND SUFFERING. COPING, RESISTING AND FIGHTING SUFFERING IS WRONG, WORSENS THE SUFFERING AND BONDS ONE EVEN TIGHTER TO WOE AND SO THERE IS KARMA FOR TEACHING OTHERS HOW TO COPE.
You never tolerate suffering not cope with suffering:
The correct answer to suffering is not to tolerate it and because suffering has causes that can be eliminated, by not tolerating suffering you will eliminate the causes of suffering that means release from suffering here and forever after.
If you cope with suffering you must remain in suffering that will not stay the same but it will bind you ever stronger until you cannot escape and are consigned to eternal woe.
ANYONE WHO COPES WITH SUFFERING, WHO DEVICES STRATEGIES TO COPE WITH SUFFERING IS A FOOL, HAS WRONG UNDERSTANDING AND IS SETTING HIMSELF UP FOR TORMENT.
Italy & Greece cheated (using derivatives) to join EU:
Italy (and apparently Greece too) cheated using derivatives to join the EU. If they had not cheated and not joined then all the current troubles may not have occurred, they would still have their own currencies to manipulate or devalue to try to survive.
In order to enter EU your nation’s annual budget deficit must not exceed a certain limit, you must not be dependent excessively on borrowing to survive. Italy could not meet this requirement and so rather than borrowing that would show on its balance sheets, it took out a ‘derivative’ whereby it would be paid the amount it would otherwise had to borrow to get along but later it would have to repay that amount plus interest. Thus on paper Italy’s budget appear to meet the criteria for EU admission but actually it was living beyond its means that was masked by a derivative.
REMOVE THE ‘LOAN’ STICKER FROM THE MONEY AND REPLACE IT WITH ‘DERIVATIVE’ AND IF ALL PARTIES INCLUDING THE EU CLOSED ONE OR BOTH EYES THEN ITALY’S FINANCES MEET THE REQUIREMENT TO ENTER THE EU. BUT IN TRUTH ITALY WAS HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON BORROWING TO SURVIVE AND IT NEVER SUCCEEDED IN LIVING WITHIN ITS MEANS WHICH IS WHY TODAY’S CRISIS HAS HAPPENED. IF IT DID NOT ENTER THE EU IT WOULD STILL HAVE ITS LIRA TO DEVALUE. BUT ITALY REAPED A LOT OF MATERIAL BENEFITS FROM EU MEMBERSHIP AND ALL THIS WAS GOTTEN BY CHEATING AND NOW THIS IS THE PRICE FOR CHEATING.
ALL CHEATING IS AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS AND THEREFORE INCURS KARMA TO BE REPAID AS SUFFERING.
IN TODAY’S HYPERLUTING CRAPPY WORLD, ANYTHING GOES, THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF DERIVATIVES AND WHAT ITALY USED IS JUST ONE TYPE. THERE WAS ANOTHER DERIVATIVE IN WHICH BANKS LENT MASSIVE AMOUNTS TO ENRON TO ENABLE IT TO CHEAT THE PUBLIC AND RESULTED IN MASSIVE LOSSES FOR BANKS WHEN ENRON COLLAPSED. THERE IS YET ANOTHER CALLED CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS IN WHICH ONE UNDERTAKES TO INSURE ANOTHER PARTY WITHOUT MONEY TO BACK UP IN CASE OF CLAIMS WHICH RESULTED IN AIG WHICH REAPED BILLIONS IN FEES BEING UNABLE TO FULFILL ITS OBLIGATIONS SO THAT IT HAD TO BE BAILED OUT BY THE US GOVERNMENT AND THUS PEOPLE WHEN LEHMANN BROS COLLAPSED.
All unjustified asset price increases are evil:
Whether you are justified to jack up the price of your asset (eg Apple share, house, goods) or not is objective not subjective and if it is unjustified there is karma to be repaid as suffering far worse than whatever material gains you obtained overcharging or ripping off or cheating others.
Thus if your Apple share should be worth $40 and it is traded at $100 then it is ripping off the system because your share is interchangeable for common currency and instantly, by an unjustified price rise you can claim much more in terms of dollars from the system that serves to deplete it to the disadvantage of others who also hold the currency.
In the same way when your house rises to $600,000 where it was $200,000 before then because it is priced in common currency, it is an unfair extra claim on the system that is to the advantage of those who own property at the expenses of those who do not own property.
IF PROPERTY PRICES RISE UNREASONABLY INEXORABLY, BECAUSE IT IS PRICED IN COMMON HELD CURRENCY, IT IS AN UNREASONABLE EXCESSIVE CLAIM ON COMMONLY HELD WEALTH THAT FAVOURS ALL PROPERTY OWNERS TO THE DISADVANTAGE, IMPOVERISHMENT OF THOSE WHO DO NOT OWN PROPERTY. THIS IS ALWAYS EVIL AND INCURS KARMA TO THOSE WHO REAP ADVANTAGE AND ARE ITS PROPONENTS. IF YOU SEE NO WRONG YOU HAVE WRONG VIEW THAT THE BUDDHA SAID IS THE WAY TO HELL OR THE ANIMAL WOMB.
Singapore is one whopping asset bubble:
Those who see Singapore as wealthy and financially sound may have wrong perception whilst those who see the glittering skyscrapers as debt, a debt bubble that cannot be sustained forever may be correct.
A lot of the wealth in Singapore is apparent than real, based on excessive asset prices that can never be realized, inflow of hot money to help sustain it and is actually debt rather than wealth because many have not repaid the loans taken to buy and they may never be able to repay should the global economy collapse and as Lee Kuan Yew is fond of saying, when Singaporeans fall, it is from great heights onto a deadly concrete floor rather than soft cushioned jungle floor.
John Travolta: Nothing can hurt me after my son's death
This is a fool’s logic and the purpose is not to speak the truth but to exaggerate.
The correct logic is if you can be hurt ‘real bad’ by your son’s death, you can be hurt real bad even worse in the future because that hurt is never forgotten but like a smouldering amber will flare up just as bad even worse with conditioning.
His logic is to boast the hurt of my son’s death is so bad, ‘unbelievable’, no one could be hurt more so nothing can hurt me after my son’s death.
HURT NEVER IMMUNIZES ANYONE FROM FURTHER HURT BUT INSTEAD EVERY TIME YOUR HURT BECOMES MORE INTENSE, IT FURTHER INTENSIFIES YOUR CAPACITY TO BE HURT AND SO HE IS MAKING A VERY BIG MISTAKE, HE IS DELUDED FOR EVEN MUCH WORSE HURT LIES IN AMBUSH AHEAD AND BECAUSE WHAT HE SAID IS FALSE OR DELUDED, THERE IS SUFFERING IN REPAYMENT NOT MERIT.
Frozen fuel pipes caused 777 crash?
A BA flight crashed at Heathrow in similar circumstances and it seems a design flaw may mean the fuel lines are frozen by the long flight and as it came in to land, the restricted fuel flow may cause the engine to reduce power causing plane to fall short of the runway.

That an emotional man can truly not have fear is impossible notwithstanding or especially when it is a matter of cancer that may cause much uncertainty, pain and death.
FEAR IS THE CONSTANT NOT INTERMITTENT COMPANION OF ALL WHO HAVE STYLE AND ARE EMOTIONAL BECAUSE THEY ARE CONSTANTLY GOING AGAINST SELF AND THEY ARE SHROUDED IN DELUSION AND IGNORANCE, IN DANGER AND SO NORMALLY FEAR IS PRESENT BUT WELL SUPPRESSED OR CONTROLLED BY FORCE IN THE BACKGROUND AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN EVENTS OVERRIDE THEIR CONTROL, THEY ARE SEIZED BY FEAR THAT AS THEY AGE, CAN BECOME INTENSE AND EASILY, MADLY TRIGGERED.
I AM NOT AFRAID IS NEVER SAID IN TRUTH BUT IN DENIAL AND DEFIANCE. WHY IS HE DWELLING ON FEAR WITHOUT BEING ASKED? IS IT THE TRUTH OR HIS GUILTY CONSCIOUSNESS, DEFIANCE THAT WILL ADD TO HIS SUFFERING?
As the Buddha said, when faced with death, those who have not done what is good must fear the ending of his life that takes away all that he possesses here.
[The Blessed One said:] "Brahmin, there are those who, subject to death, are afraid & in terror of death. And there are those who, subject to death, are not afraid or in terror of death.
"And who is the person who, subject to death, is afraid & in terror of death? There is the case of the person who has not abandoned passion, desire, fondness, thirst, fever, & craving for sensuality. Then he comes down with a serious disease. As he comes down with a serious disease, the thought occurs to him, 'O, those beloved sensual pleasures will be taken from me, and I will be taken from them!' He grieves & is tormented, weeps, beats his breast, & grows delirious. This is a person who, subject to death, is afraid & in terror of death.
"Furthermore, there is the case of the person who has not abandoned passion, desire, fondness, thirst, fever, & craving for the body. Then he comes down with a serious disease. As he comes down with a serious disease, the thought occurs to him, 'O, my beloved body will be taken from me, and I will be taken from my body!' He grieves & is tormented, weeps, beats his breast, & grows delirious. This, too, is a person who, subject to death, is afraid & in terror of death.
"Furthermore, there is the case of the person who has not done what is good, has not done what is skillful, has not given protection to those in fear, and instead has done what is evil, savage, & cruel. Then he comes down with a serious disease. As he comes down with a serious disease, the thought occurs to him, 'I have not done what is good, have not done what is skillful, have not given protection to those in fear, and instead have done what is evil, savage, and cruel. To the extent that there is a destination for those who have not done what is good, have not done what is skillful, have not given protection to those in fear, and instead have done what is evil, savage, & cruel, that's where I'm headed after death.' He grieves & is tormented, weeps, beats his breast, & grows delirious. This, too, is a person who, subject to death, is afraid & in terror of death.
"Furthermore, there is the case of the person in doubt & perplexity, who has not arrived at certainty with regard to the True Dhamma. Then he comes down with a serious disease. As he comes down with a serious disease, the thought occurs to him, 'How doubtful & perplexed I am! I have not arrived at any certainty with regard to the True Dhamma!' He grieves & is tormented, weeps, beats his breast, & grows delirious. This, too, is a person who, subject to death, is afraid & in terror of death.
"These, brahmin, are four people who, subject to death, are afraid & in terror of death.
"And who is the person who, subject to death, is not afraid or in terror of death?
"There is the case of the person who has abandoned passion, desire, fondness, thirst, fever, and craving for sensuality. Then he comes down with a serious disease. As he comes down with a serious disease, the thought does not occur to him, 'O, those beloved sensual pleasures will be taken from me, and I will be taken from them!' He does not grieve, is not tormented; does not weep, beat his breast, or grow delirious. This is a person who, subject to death, is not afraid or in terror of death.
"Furthermore, there is the case of the person who has abandoned passion, desire, fondness, thirst, fever, and craving for the body. Then he comes down with a serious disease.

Anyone who goes against self must harbour fear that can only be controlled:
Anyone who goes against self must harbour fear that can only be controlled and whatever is subject to control is subject to loss of control and so no matter how iron willed, your control of fear must slip to give rise to overwhelming intense fear whose triggers are idiosyncratic, different for different people. The more you control and use intense force to control fear the more the agony you will ultimately experience.
A person whose mental force has ceased to be stirred by anything occurring (as a result of right effort) cannot experience, he is truly without fear because you need your mental force to be stirred to become fearful. And so until you have reached the third higher state of mind, is accomplished (as a result of right effort) in the third higher state of mind (neither like nor dislike), you are subject to fear.
To have style or use force to prolong (eg syllables), change speed and loudness is to go against self, using dangerous harmful force unnecessary that cause stress, restlessness, distraction and necessitates a robotic existence and therefore anyone with style is constantly going against himself that is dangerous and potentially fatal and so he must have constant lurking fear of himself and others and everything.
A PERSON WHO NEVER GOES AGAINST HIMSELF IS NEVER FEARFUL BECAUSE HE IS HIS BEST FRIEND AND GUARDIAN. A PERSON WHO GOES AGAINST HIMSELF IS HIS WORST ENEMY, FAR EXCEEDS WHATEVER BAD ENEMIES HE HAS AND HE CANNOT ESCAPE FROM HIMSELF AND SO HE MUST BE FEARFUL.
Pleasing and impressing others lead to fear:
Whoever speaks and does things to please or impress others must be fearful because he is a slave of others, a prostitute and must be angry with himself and fearful because he is subordinating himself to others.
EXACTLY WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF WHAT YOU SAY CAN BE DETERMINED, IS OBJECTIVE, CANNOT BE DISPUTED.
IF WHAT YOU SAY IS NOT IN TRUTH OR NECESSITY BUT TO PANDER TO OTHERS, TO PLEASE AND IMPRESS OTHERS, YOU MUST EXPERIENCE RESISTANCE AND FEAR WITH WHAT YOU SAY THAT IS AGAINST YOURSELF IN FAVOUR OF OTHERS, NOT BECAUSE YOU ARE SO GOOD BUT FOR MATERIAL GAINS.
NORMALLY EVERYTHING NICE PEOPLE SAY IS TO PLEASE AND IMPRESS OTHERS AND SO THEY MUST EXPERIENCE RESISTANCE AND FEAR THAT THEY HIDE FROM VIEW, SOME BETTER THAN OTHERS. IT IS ONLY OCCASIONS WHEN THEY ARE UPSET THAT THEY BARE THEIR FANGS AND BECOME NASTY.
Thus if what Michael Parkinson is saying is intended to please or impress others (that he is fearless) he must automatically arouse fear that he must then suppress or hide from view that adds to his agony.
Anyone subject to suffering with no escape must fear:
Anyone who is suffering and there is no escape out of his suffering must be fearful.
Anyone who is not suffering as is possible if someone lives in truth and does not harm himself, he need not fear because he is safe.
SUFFERING IS DISAGREEABLE AND PEOPLE AUTOMATICALLY STRUGGLE, FIGHT TO ESCAPE SUFFERING. THE PROBLEM WITH ORDINARY PEOPLE IS THAT THEY ARE INSENSITIVE TO SUFFERING, THEY WILLINGLY SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO SUFFERING UNTIL THEY ARE TOO STRONGLY SEIZED BY SUFFERING BEFORE THEY LOOK TOO LATE FOR AN EXIT AND BECAUSE THERE IS NO EXIT FOR THEM THEY MUST EXPERIENCE FEAR.
PEOPLE USE FORCE TO FIGHT SUFFERING EITHER DIRECTLY OR VIA ALCOHOL, DISTRACTION (PARTYING), DRUGS, EXERCISE OR SPORTS OR YOGA AND BECAUSE THEY ARE NEVER THE TRUE ANSWERS TO SUFFERING, THEY ARE TRAPPED, GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES WAITING FOR THE EXECUTION AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THEY ARE NOT FEARFUL.
WHATEVER THE ANSWERS OF ORDINARY PEOPLE IN RESPONSE TO SUFFERING ARE WRONG, DO NOT WORK AND SO THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM SUFFERING FOR THEM AND THEY MUST BE FEARFUL.
You got to be mad not to fear:
Because ordinary people never have true understanding to guide them out of suffering, they are dependent on fear (a proxy of mental force) to be their saviour, to pull them back from the brink.
Not to be aware you are exposing yourself to suffering is even worse than to be aware and if you are constantly exposing yourself to suffering, willing yourself to suffer and only pulling back when the suffering becomes too much and then you are responding to suffering with tools that are all wrong (yoga, tai chi, alcohol, drugs, sports, music etc) even if you think they are correct then you are a trapped man waiting for the execution and you are mad not to fear.
WITHOUT TRUE REASON, THE ONLY RECOURSE TO SUFFERING FOR EMOTIONAL PEOPLE IS TO USE FORCE, TO USE FEAR, IT IS FEAR THAT IS THEIR GUARDIAN AGAINST SUFFERING.
IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY WILLING YOURSELF TO SUFFERING, CREATING SUFFERING AND EXPOSING YOURSELF TO SUFFERING ONLY PULLING BACK WHEN THE SUFFERING IS TOO GREAT THEN YOU MUST BE FEARFUL YOU MAY GO TOO FAR AND KILL YOURSELF.
IF YOUR TOOLS TO TREAT SUFFERING (YOGA, EXERCISE, HEALTH FOODS, MUSIC) NOT ONLY DO NOT WORK BUT ADDS TO YOUR SUFFERING YOU MUST BE FEARFUL.
Haze may be back:
There appears to be haze and the satellite maps in Singapore site shows many hot spots near Malaysia.
Many have blamed primitive slash and burn farmers but if they are wrong there is karma, it is the big boys the plantations that are ultimately responsible.
IT IS THE EXPOSED PEAT THAT WHEN SUFFICIENTLY DRIED IN SOME DRY SEASONS WHOSE SETTING ALIGHT CAUSES OUT OF CONTROL SMOG AND IT IS THE BIG PLANTATIONS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MASS CLEARING THAT IS NOT NECESSARY BUT FOR GREED.
PLANTING OIL PALM EXPOSES THE PEAT TO DRYING AND DRAINS THE SOIL SO THAT IN SOME YEARS IT BECOMES TOO DRY AND CATCHES FIRE WHEN SLASH AND BURN IS DONE AND THIS IS MASSIVE ENOUGH TO CAUSE REGIONAL HAZE.
I can't believe it says Andy Murray the champ
Whatever has happened does not require belief let alone disbelieve and so he and those who accept as valid what he said are heading for insanity.
THERE IS NO NEED TO BELIEVE LET ALONE CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND IT REFLECTS INSANITY NOT MERIT HE SAYS SO.

Without true understanding and your own worst enemy, fear is the only recourse.
Whether a person has true understanding or not is objective cannot be refuted.
If you do not have true understanding and you are your own worst enemy, you have created for yourself suffering that the Buddha said is as vast as an ocean then fighting your suffering is also never the answer but postpones the inevitable and makes worse the suffering and fear is your weapon of last resort, recourse, to make you beat a retreat from the suffering to live to fight and suffer another day.
WITHOUT TRUE UNDERSTANDING AND THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY CREATING SUFFERING AS VAST AS AN OCEAN ORDINARY PEOPLE RESORT TO TOUGHNESS, RESISTANCE, FIGHTING TO DISPEL THEIR SUFFERING BUT BECAUSE THIS NEVER WORKS BUT COMPOUNDS THEIR SUFFERING, THEY FINALLY HAVE TO BEAT RETREAT, DRIVEN BY FEAR TO LIVE AND SUFFER ANOTHER DAY UNTIL SUFFERING FINALLY KILL THEM OFF TO CONSIGN THEM TO THEIR OCEAN OF SUFFERING THEY DISAPPEAR WITHOUT TRACE INTO.
Economic growth is never permanently sustainable and so haven’t you had enough growing and how much more before you are satisfied or are you insatiable and can the finite earth continue to sustain that growth, it takes far more than right politics to sustain economic growth, how about the capacity of the earth to absorb it and so this statement is not be wise and subject to karma.
FAR FROM MUCH MORE CAPACITY TO SUPPORT GROWTH THE EARTH MAY BE TOTTERING ON COLLAPSE ALREADY AND MORE THAN RIGHT POLITICS THE ABILITY OF THE EARTH TO SUPPORT GROWTH IS MORE IMPORTANT. HE SEES EVERYTHING FROM HIS POLITICIAN’S PERSPECTIVE AS IF POLITICS IS THE BE ALL AND END ALL.
Does this make sense to you?
I say what is written is deluded, nonsense and those who find it meaningful are headed for even eternal suffering.
And so if you find what is stated a treasure, if I am right you better watch out, eternal suffering may be your destination.
I FIRST STARTED READING THIS EMAIL AND WAS READING FAST UNTIL I REACHED THE THIRD SENTENCE.  I STOPPED THEN AND STARTED OVER, READING SLOWER, AND THINKING ABOUT EVERY WORD...  IT MAKES YOU STOP AND THINK.  
So, please
   READ SLOWLY!


AND THEN IT IS WINTER
You know time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.  It seems like yesterday that I was young, just married, and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all those years went. 

I know that I lived them all.  I have glimpses of how it was back then and pof all my hopes and dreams.
But, here it is... the winter of my life, and it catches me by surprise... How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those "older people" were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.

But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting grey... hey move slower and I see an older person in myself now.   Some are in better and some worse shape than me... but, I see the great change... Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be. 

Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day!  And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory!  Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!

And so... now I enter this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!!   But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last... this I know, that when it's over on this earth... it's over.   A new adventure will begin!

Yes, I have regrets.  There are things I wish I hadn't done... things I should have done, but indeed, there are also many things I'm happy to have done.   It's all in a lifetime.
 
So, if you're not in your winter yet... let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think.  So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life, please do it quickly!  Don't put things off too long!!  Life goes by quickly.  So, do what you can TODAY, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not!

You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life... so, LIVE FOR TODAY and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember... and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!!

"Life" is a GIFT to you.  The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after.   Make it a fantastic one.

Remember: "It is Health that is real Wealth and not pieces of gold and silver."

~Your kids are becoming you......but your grandchildren are perfect!

~Going out is good.. coming home is even better!

~You forget names.... but it's OK, because other people forgot they even knew you!!!

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything.... especially golf.

~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.

~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep."

~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..

~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... f???

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless?!"

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear.

~But "Old" is good in some things: 
Old Songs, Old movies ...
and best of all, our dear ...OLD FRIENDS!!


Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" 
Send this on to other "Old Friends" and let them laugh in agreement!

It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of Life You Have Lived.
PM Lee is saying I am your saviour:
Surely opposition politics will not meet with his approval or applause and so he implies trust his politics and you shall have sustainable economic growth.
Free smoke everyone, the haze is back:
Looks like I am correct, the haze is back and intensifying quite fast.
Put your cigarette back and enjoy the free smoke courtesy the oil palm estates of Indonesia.
People like to hold opinions eg as to what is the cause of the haze but if they are wrong, there is a reckoning with suffering.
EMOTIONAL PEOPLE WITH STRONG IDENTITY WILL NOT DENY THEMSELVES, THEY MUST HOLD OPINIONS AS TO THIS AND THAT THEY BROADCAST AND LIKE OTHERS TO ADOPT THAT IF WRONG HAS DEBT NOT MERIT.
I SAY IT IS THE MASS CULTIVATION OF OIL PALM THAT EXPOSES PEAAT SOIL TO THE DRYING SUN AND ALSO DRAINS THE SOIL (IRRIGATION) THAT IS TO BLAME SO THAT IF THE SOIL BECOMES TOO DRY DURING THE DRY SEASON THEY BECOME AN EXTREME FIRE HAZARD JUST LIKE IN AUSTRALIA ANY OPEN BURNING IN SUMMER IS A FIRE HAZARD. THERE ARE BUSH FIRES IN AUSTRALIA SO ARE THE NATIVES THERE ALSO PRIMITIVE?
Haze is worse than smoking:
Unless you are a nonstop smoker, the haze is worse than smoking because it is nonstop exposure to smoke that also contains PCBs, carcinogens whereas the smoker has respite from his smoking throughout the day.
According to Singapore site there are 90 hotspots today compared to 30 yesterday.
Interest rate swaps
There are many kinds of derivatives and one of them is interest rate swaps which apparently many US cities are at the wrong paying ends to the big banks.
It seems that whatever financial shenanigans, if labelled a derivative is exempt from the scrutiny of the law.
Quote: A risk for banks is that calling these things gambling could prejudice courts deciding whether to enforce them. Many municipalities entered into what were called interest-rate swaps with large banks before the credit crisis arrived. “The cities,” says William J. Quirk, a law professor at the University of South Carolina who formerly worked as a lawyer for the New York City, “lost every bet.”
That may be an overstatement. But those contracts have certainly produced large profits for Wall Street, and many will continue to do so for years to come. “The funny part of the story,” Mr. Quirk wrote in the July issue of Chronicles Magazine, “is that the cities keep paying despite the fact they have a good legal defense: The bets are not enforceable because cities are not authorized to place bets with taxpayers’ money.”
Only virtue will deliver you from suffering and eternal death:
IT IS NOT HOW CLEVER YOU ARE, HOW WITTY YOU ARE, YOU RICH AND FAMOUS YOU ARE THAT WILL LEAD YOU TO HAPPINESS BUT IT IS VIRTUOUS CONDUCT THAT IS THE KEY TO YOUR FUTURE ETERNAL HAPPINESS.
This was said by the Blessed One: "Monks, don't be afraid of acts of merit. This is another way of saying what is blissful, desirable, pleasing, endearing, charming -- i.e., acts of merit. I am cognizant that, having long performed meritorious deeds, I long experienced desirable, pleasing, endearing, charming results. Having developed a mind of good will for seven years, then for seven aeons of contraction & expansion I didn't return to this world. Whenever the aeon was contracting, I went to the realm of Streaming Radiance. Whenever the aeon was expanding, I reappeared in an empty Brahma-abode. There I was the Great Brahman, the Unconquered Conqueror, All-seeing, & Wielder of Power. Then for thirty-six times I was Sakka, ruler of the gods. For many hundreds of times I was a king, a wheel-turning emperor, a righteous king of Dhamma, conqueror of the four corners of the earth, maintaining stable control over the countryside, endowed with the seven treasures* -- to say nothing of the times I was a local king. The thought occurred to me: 'Of what action of mine is this the fruit, of what action the result, that I now have such great power & might?' Then the thought occurred to me: 'This is the fruit of my three [types of] action, the result of three types of action, that I now have such great power & might: i.e., generosity, self-control, & restraint.'"
Train in acts of merit
that bring long-lasting bliss --
develop generosity, a life in tune,
a mind of good-will.
Developing these three things
that bring about bliss, the wise reappear
in a world of bliss unalloyed.
Tourist minister caught showing fuck sign:
The tourist minister was caught in a picture showing fuck hand sign (closed fist with thumb protruding between index & middle finger cleft) possibly in annoyance.
It is a sign of nastiness or ill will that reflects on the nature of the person.
Asset bubbles are like Petronas Twin Towers:
There are property asset bubbles all over the world eg Singapore, China and locally and they are all the same.
Asset bubbles can be compared to the twin towers, deluded people are thrilled by the (paper) or material (cashed in) gains they obtain from it without doing any work as if money grew on trees but they are collectively ascending the skyscraper not realizing some wicked man will shut down all the elevators and seal off the stairs and whatever provisions they have will soon run out and so they will die without sustenance and their only choice is to climb down like the French spider man but few will make it, will fall to their deaths in their attempts to escape the death trap of the skyscraper.
PROPERTY PRICE RISES SHOULD BE VIEWED WITH GREAT ALARM BUT REFLECTING THE DELUDED NATURE OF HUMANS THEY THINK NOTHING OR THINK IT IS GOOD.
IT IS LIKE A SKYSCRAPER UP WHICH EVERYONE SCALES USING THE ELEVATOR NOT REALIZING A WICKED MAN WILL SHUT THE ELEVATORS AND SEAL THE STAIRS SO THAT THERE IS NO WAY DOWN EXCEPT JUMP OR IF YOU ARE THE FRENCH SPIDER MAN YOU CAN ATTEMPT THE ARDUOUS AND DANGEROUS CLIMB DOWN. WHILST THE FRENCHMAN HAS EXPERIENCE AND HAND POWDER TO ASSIST HIM, YOUR SWEATY HANDS WILL DOOM YOU TO FAILURE.
Your mental health:
IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE UNKNOWINGLY AND KNOWINGLY HARMING YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE FEARFUL FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, PREOCCUPIED WITH YOUR MENTAL HEALTH BUT SO LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO ABUSE YOURSELF ALL TALK AND MEASURES REGARDING MENTAL HEALTH ARE IN VAIN AND FURTHER ADD TO YOUR WOES. AS SOON AS YOU STOP HARMING YOURSELF WHY WOULD YOU BOTHER OR TROUBLE YOURSELF ABOUT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH?

This is a BBC headline and people do not know what to make of it or they accept it as valid when it is deluded and those who are concerned about their mental health and take measures to preserve it are heading for mental sickness, whatever measures they may take.
Your life here is either sane or controlled insanity and for ordinary people it is controlled insanity that will end in uncontrolled insanity one way or another and as long as you lead a life of controlled insanity and do not realize how deluded you are, then you can monitor your mental health for all you like, device and detect signs of nascent mental un-healthiness and device all kinds of counter measures (eg relaxation therapy, holiday therapy, love therapy, TM, yoga) it is all in vain.
IF YOU ARE LIVING A SANE LIFE IN TRUTH AND GOODNESS, YOU NEVER DO OR SAY THINGS THAT GOES AGAINST SELF, WHY WOULD YOU BOTHER ABOUT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH? IF YOU ARE LIVING A LIFE OF CONTROLLED INSANITY, IN FALSITY AND EVIL, YOU GO AGAINST YOURSELF IN WHATEVER YOU SAY OR DO, YOU ARE CAUSING YOURSELF INSOLUBLE SUFFERING THROUGH ROBOTIC MECHANICAL REHASHING, IT IS FUTILE, A FURTHER BURDEN OR VEXATION TO CONCERN YOURSELF WITH YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. SO LONG AS YOU KEEP ABUSING YOURSELF YOU ARE A FOOL TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. IF YOU STOP ABUSING YOURSELF WHY WOULD BOTHER YOURSELF WITH YOUR MENTAL HEALTH?
IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE UNKNOWINGLY AND KNOWINGLY HARMING YOURSELF THAT YOU ARE FEARFUL FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, PREOCCUPIED WITH YOUR MENTAL HEALTH BUT SO LONG AS YOU CONTINUE TO ABUSE YOURSELF ALL TALK AND MEASURES REGARDING MENTAL HEALTH ARE IN VAIN AND FURTHER ADD TO YOUR WOES. AS SOON AS YOU STOP HARMING YOURSELF WHY WOULD YOU BOTHER OR TROUBLE YOURSELF ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH?
No such thing as mental health nor can it be monitored:
Mental health is a fabrication, a concept, a virtual reality, it does not exist in truth unlike you and me and so it cannot be monitored and treated and those who subscribe are deluded and will end mad or fatally mentally unhealthy. Thus all those who preach mental health are guilty of misleading and harming others with debt not merit. You never hear me talk about mental health.
IF YOU THINK THERE IS SUCH A THING AS MENTAL HEALTH THEN YOU ARE DELUDED. THERE IS SUCH A THING AS SIN AND RIGHTFUL CONDUCT BUT MENTAL HEALTH ARE A MENTAL CONCOCTION THAT DELUDED PEOPLE TRY TO SELL TO OTHERS WHO WILL BE POISONED WHEN THEY BECOME RECEPTIVE.
Americans are once again spending more on credit, increasing their borrowing by $19.6 billion in May, according to the Federal Reserve.
If anything this should alarm those running the economy but they are encouraged and reassured by it.
This means any boost in the economy is at the expense of debt that must be repaid in the future and if it is not repaid, it means disaster.
Even if you have a steady income that can cover the credit spending or you have cash in the bank that can offset, it is still evil to spend on credit.
If you took out the money to spend, then the bank will have less money deposited to lend out but if you leave your money it the bank and spend on credit, you have actually spent your money but the bank still thinks you have the money and has lent it out.
SPENDING USING CREDIT CARD IS DECEPTIVE AND DANGEROUS. BECAUSE YOU DID NOT WITHDRAW YOUR MONEY TO SPEND, THE MONEY REMAINS IN THE BANK FOR LENDING OUT. IF YOU WITHDREW MONEY AND SPENT IT THEN THE BANK WOULD NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO LEND ANYMORE.
FURTHER IF YOU ARE DEPENDING ON FUTURE INCOME TO OFFSET YOUR CREDIT DEBT THAT IS DANGEROUS TOO BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT EARN IT YET.
Self-promotion:
Most people including politicians are promoting themselves all the time but they disguise it as if they are promoting you when they are promoting themselves.
Thus the statement ‘correct politics will lead to sustainable economic growth’ appears to be promoting you who are desirous of economic growth but it is self promotion because correct politics require maintaining the speaker in power.
PEOPLE OFTEN DISGUISE THEIR SELF PROMOTION AS IF THEY ARE YOUR SERVANT WHEN IT IS THEIR OWN INTERESTS THAT MOTIVATE THEM.
Parky: Work will help me beat Big C
If you think work to help beat cancer may work, if not for me, maybe for him you are gullible and deluded, it will never work for him but will make it worse.
Whatever work subjects the mind and body to force, without force you cannot work and this force is always harmful and leads to suffering and so the wise person will minimize all work to the minimum necessary. The Buddha said he often resided in emptiness which means not only is his body still but his mind is empty even of thought, of stirring to like and dislike, of feeling pain and pleasure. The Buddha spends a lot of time in the afternoon and night in seclusion and stillness and that is never work.
Working to beat the Big C is never a valid reason for working and so if you do so you are working for the wrong or mad reason. You work if you have something meaningful to accomplish. Yes, you want to beat cancer but not by work do you beat cancer.
Whatever work he is thinking of doing (eg public appearances, speaking engagement, promotions, etc) are actually stressful and not truly useful and so they will add to his cancer toll rather than subtract.
WORKING TO HELP BEAT CANCER NEVER WORKS AND IT IS DELUSION THAT COMPOUNDS THE TORMENT. HE IS FACING THE ENDMAKER AND THERE MAY BE NO PALATABLE WAY OUT FOR HIM.
All work is suffering and dangerous:
The correct view of work is that it is always suffering and dangerous even for a good cause and so you minimize whatever work to the minimum necessary to get by.
You work for a good cause because you want to create merit, if you are not interested in merit, you do not need do work for a good cause, just make sure you do not harm others directly or indirectly to create debt to be repaid as suffering.
Although all work is suffering, if you are suffering then you have to work, make right effort eg to stop stretching syllables, change speed and loudness, stop thinking and that is work that you need to do and as soon as you succeed you cease further work or striving.
ALL WORK EVEN FOR A GOOD CAUSE, IS SUFFERING AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE USE OF FORCE THAT IS HARMFUL AND THE CAUSE OF DEATH. AND SO THE PERSON WHO UNDERSTANDS CORRECTLY WILL MINIMIZE ALL WORK TO THE MINIMUM NECESSARY.
PEOPLE DO WORK FOR A GOOD CAUSE BECAUSE THEY WANT REWARD, MERIT TO BE EXPERIENCED AS FUTURE HAPPINESS. IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN MERIT, FURTHER EXISTENCE THEN YOU ARE NO LONGER ANXIOUS TO DO GOOD WORK, JUST ENSURE YOU DO NOT HARM OTHERS DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO INCUR KARMA TO BE REPAID AS SUFFERING.
YOU NEED TO DO WORK, RIGHT EFFORT TO EXTRICATE YOURSELF FROM THE MORASS OF SUFFERING YOU ARE NOW IN, YOU NEED TO WORK TO STOP YOURSELF STRETCHING SYLLABLES BUT ONCE YOU HAVE SUCCEEDED THERE IS NO FURTHER EFFORT NEEDED EXCEPT THE EFFORT TO OBSERVE AND MAINTAIN AND NOT RELAPSE.
All use and contact with force is suffering and bonding:
Compared with the absence of contact and use of force, all contact and use of force is always significant serious suffering and bonding, force bonds you to use it according to a plan and whatever bondage to force is bondage to suffering.
Contact with sun, cold, touch, smell, bright light, sounds are all contact with force and they always suffering compared with non contact and the reason why contact is suffering to ordinary people is because there is perversion in their perception and they are restless, bonded to force, bonded to seek force. For those whose minds are released from force, they know it as true, contact with force is suffering, non contact with force is not suffering.
You can stir force without doing work (get angry, hurt, aggressive, sad, fearful, excited) or with work that is useless (eg stretching syllables, singing and dancing, playing tennis), with work that is useful (clean the dirty floor), nevertheless all stirring of force is suffering compared with non stirring of force.
In order to have style you must use force to stretch syllables, change speed and loudness and if you did not have style you stop using force and stop suffering.
Not only is contact and use of force the only source of suffering, the use and contact with force is conditioning, addictive, programming such that the person becomes hooked to seek force, to use force without or with doing work. Force invites you to use it, to experience it and inexorably you become hooked to seek and use it that detains you in everlasting torment and death.
ANYONE WHO WISHES TO ESCAPE SUFFERING MUST BEAR IN MIND IT IS CONTACT WITH OR USE OF FORCE THAT IS THE SOURCE OF HIS SUFFERING AND BONDS HIM TO SUFFERING AND DEATH AND HE WILL MAKE RIGHT EFFORT TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF FORCE AND MINIMIZE HIS CONTACT AND USE OF FORCE.
The four different suffering of work:
1)  Work requires the use of force that is always suffering that builds up as work progresses.
2)  Because work is always suffering it tends to stir dislike in emotional people that add further suffering because it is an additional stirring of force. Tennis and golf are also work and if you like to play tennis or golf as many addicted people are, then that stirred like is a similar additional use of force and suffering.
3)  Work that is accompanied by added style (prolonging, changing speed and strength and requires rehashing) is further added use of force and suffering.
4)  Work causes injuries eg muscles aches, joint injuries that is an additional suffering and the wear and tear of lifelong work leads to chronic wear and tear diseases and suffering.
WORK HAS MULTIPLE SUFFERING AND SO THE WISE PERSON WHO WISHES TO ESCAPE SUFFERING WILL NOT EMBRACE WORK. AS THE BUDDHA SAID, HE IS STILLED, THE FOREST OF CRAVING HE HAS CUT DOWN. WHOEVER SEES NOTHING WRONG IN WORK, SEES WORK AS GOOD IS BONDING HIMSELF TO SUFFERING.
Mocking and sarcasm can send you to hell:
A Christian Nation cannot put up a Christmas scene of the baby Jesus in
a public place, but the Muslims can stop normal traffic every Friday afternoon
by worshiping in the streets.... Something is happening in America that is
reminiscent of what is happening in Europe. This is Political Correctness
gone crazy...
Scary! Isn't it?
What he is doing is not speaking the truth except in his delusion. He is expressing his dislike in a mocking or sarcastic manner and encouraging others to do the same and this is very foolish because he is setting himself for suffering in repayment and he has debt exhorting others to be sarcastic.
IT IS ALWAYS SUFFERING TO BE SARCASTIC AND IT IS ADDICTIVE AND THERE IS SUFFERING DUE LATER EVEN HELL AND IF YOU ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO BE SARCASTIC YOU WILL BE PUNISHED FOR SETTING A BAD EXAMPLE. NO NEED TO GET UPSET, YOU ARE ENTANGLED AND THAT IS THE WAY TO EVEN ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.
Why did US consumers borrow $20 billion?
Consumer borrowing in the US climbed in May, the most in a year, as Americans put more purchases on their credit cards and took out more loans.
It is presumptuous that this is good news because it may be bad news. People borrow more not necessarily because they are bullish but they may be cash strapped, unable to make ends meet and using credit cards to get by and if this is the case it spells trouble not good news.
Borrowing more does not mean spending more:
The programmed false logic of people eager to jump to greedy conclusions is that more credit card borrowing means people are spending and therefore the economy is on the mend.
This is an unwarranted or false logical conclusion, borrowing more may mean they are more desperate, more dependent on debt to carry on.
China import & export drops a sign of trouble:
China’s exports and imports both unexpectedly declined in June in a sign that weakness in global and domestic demand will intensify the slowdown in the world’s second-biggest economy.
Overseas shipments fell 3.1 percent from a year earlier compared with the median estimate of a 3.7 percent gain. Imports declined 0.7 percent after a 0.3 percent drop in May.
Climbing up is one thing, climbing down is another:
The French spider man inspired awe with his death defying ascend up the world’s tallest buildings but even he may be in trouble if he was asked to do the reverse, climb down.
It is one thing to pull yourself up a building, it is another thing to lower yourself down because your feet will not reach the lower ledge and any drop may cause swaying that tips you into a sky fall.
JUST BECAUSE A PERSON IS ACCOMPLISHED AT SCALING TALL BUILDINGS DOES NOT MEAN THE REVERSE CLIMBING DOWN WOULD SIMILARLY BE A CINCH BUT IT MAY BE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT. THUS THE RISE IN PROPERTY PRICES MAY BE EXHILARATING TO THOSE WITH VESTED INTERESTS BUT THE DESCENT MAY BE VERY PAINFUL.
Your feet cannot grip like your hands:
In hauling yourself up a building you are dependent on your hands which have much superior grip to your feet to hold and haul you up. When you descend you are dependent on your feet with much poorer grip to hold your body steady as you bend to come down step by step.
CLIMBING UP DEPENDS ON THE HANDS THAT HAVE FAR SUPERIOR GRIP, CLIMBING DOWN REST ON YOUR FEET WHICH HAVE MUCH POORER GRIP (UNLESS YOU ARE A CHIMPANZEE WITH FEET LIKE HANDS).
Why China is a crash waiting to happen:
After the 2008 global crisis, China went on a massive domestic construction stimulus program building ill advised speculative mega projects that kept its major industries occupied and people working, they also issued risky high yielding bonds to its people to buy (potentially wiping out these people’s savings). This cannot go on forever as national debt inexorably piled up like a monster and now the time has come for it to totter and crash sooner than later.
After the 2008 financial crisis, China faced recession in its main US and European export markets.
Beijing responded with a massive stimulus package, accelerating the already-rapid building of roads, railway lines, steel plants, blocks of flats, and so on, to keep the workforce busy and the economy expanding at 9%-10% a year.
Much of the construction boom was financed by cheap loans, made readily available by the state-owned banks on orders from Beijing.
Here are some of the big beneficiaries of the cheap money era:
  • property developers who did the building work
  • local governments who sold or leased the land (often after expropriating it from farmers)
  • heavy industries that produced the construction materials and tools
  • the large state-owned monopolists, many of whom borrowed and speculated in property and other bubbly areas
If the authorities press ahead with rebalancing, then anyone making a living in these sectors can expect much leaner times ahead.
Delicate task
Delay no longer appears an option. The lending-cum-building boom is running out of steam. Total indebtedness in the economy has risen steadily.
http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/65359000/jpg/_65359142_65359141.jpg
Giant state-owned firms still dominate the economy but many are inefficient
China may already have too many roads, office blocks and so on. And too much of the economy is geared towards making even more of those things - too many steel-makers, cement-makers, even tyre-makers.
What's more, in the mad rush, a lot of the money may have been completely wasted on white elephants or disappeared into black holes.
Yet the market jitters highlight just how delicate the government's task will be.
If they take a hard line, forcing banks to raise interest rates and cut back their lending, then many of the loans extended during the boom may prove unrepayable.
But allowing the banks and their borrowers more time may simply be delaying the inevitable.
Unintended victims
The government is particularly concerned about "wealth management products" (WMPs) - high-yielding investments sold to citizens with spare cash.
WMPs have been increasingly churned out by the banks - particularly the smaller banks.
The authorities fear that they are being used as a sneaky way to raise extra money to pour into the property market and other speculative activities.
However, WMPs also play a vital role in financing small privately-owned businesses, including China's dynamic small-scale exporters.
These small borrowers find themselves marginalised from the mainstream financial system.
The state-owned banks have prioritised funnelling cheap loans to the state-owned companies and investment projects targeted by the government's stimulus plans.
They are often accused of being more concerned about a borrower's political standing than its cashflow or profitability.
The risk is that if the squeeze on WMPs and other types of shadowy, but more profit-oriented, lending persists, small businesses may find themselves cut off from credit altogether - although thus far rising interest rates have had the exact opposite effect.
Well connected
A lot of very wealthy Chinese also have much to lose from the end of cheap money.
Many of the officials who have been directing the flow of borrowed money, as well as private businessmen enjoying good government connections ("guanxi"), have done very well for themselves these past five years.

President Xi has cracked down on the banqueting penchant of bureaucrats
If the boom is over, then much of the country's elite will have to accept a commensurate reduction in their living standards.
Indeed, this has been made explicit by Beijing, who is clamping down on conspicuous spending by apparatchiks.
But the problems go deeper than this. If loans have been squandered, then as money becomes tighter, the squanderers face the risk of exposure, with serious personal consequences.
The allocation of pain within the elite could become very political, with some factions taking the fall for the years of profligacy. Bo Xilai springs to mind.
Day of reckoning?
A common assumption in China is that, because the banks are state-owned and information tightly controlled by the state, a Lehman-style financial crisis is unlikely.
This may not be entirely correct.
China's censorship, and the resulting public uncertainty, could actually make its citizens more prone to sudden, overwhelming panic, as exemplified by the 2003 Sars crisis.
And many wealthy and middle-class Chinese do stand to lose out on their investments if things go wrong.
They have bought those high-yielding WMPs. But - much like the repackaged mortgage debts that caused havoc in 2008 - if the murky loans underlying these products go bad, the losses are passed straight through to the end investor.
They have also invested in property (and wealthier Chinese, in multiple properties that often sit empty).
But the end of cheap money could kick the legs out from under the frothy housing market - for instance if struggling developers, businessmen and local governments are forced to sell.
All this raises a big risk for the whole country.
If China's super-wealthy, particularly those concerned about their political future, see the writing on the wall, then they may try to cash in their assets and move their money to the safest place they can - outside China.
And if panic spreads to the middle classes, they may decide a low-interest account at a state-owned bank is a much safer bet than owning property or those tantalising WMPs.
Yet any such rush for the doors would simply accelerate the day of reckoning.
China’s economic strength engineered not genuine:
China’s economic strength in recent years is not genuine but engineered and much of it was wasted on useless white elephants and showcases and many officials and businesses profited corruptly even plundered the system and gullible ordinary people may have lost their savings through chasing high yields in an effort to jump on the get rich scheme and so this is a recipe for a certain catastrophic crash.
WHAT IS SO DIFFERENT ABOUT CHINA? IT HAS HAPPENED IN JAPAN, US, UK, EUROPE. THERE ARE NO SIGNS CHINA IS DIFFERENT BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF SIGNS CHINA IS LIKE THE REST, AN EMPEROR WITH NO CLOTHES SUPPLYING CHEAP LABOR CHASING PIECES OF PRINTED PAPER THE US DISPENSES THAT MAY BE WORTHLESS.
