Hello Nathaniel<br />The thing with ageing is, realistically we’re not supposed to live beyond 38. It is medical science and chemistry that has prolonged our lives into the eighties, (for some). <br /> Like a car, into my retirement sixties now, pieces fall off. get blocked, or just fail to start. Now I’m an old codger, complete with walking stick, shopping trolley and limp, Many of my friends never made it this far. <br />Have you ever considered the possibility that jail may have prolonged your life? Maybe in the outside world of nonterra firma you would have been ‘toes up’ by now and sprouting daisies? <br />Inside my head isn’t a great place. I dislike silence and introversion. I like chanting mantras, OM namah Shivah, Nam myoho rengay kyo. Among favourites. That’s why I don’t meditate. I think I would go quickly insane in a SHU. It’s my ambition to retire to India, live in a nunnery among fellow Buddhists, I’ve spent time like that before in my life, Marriage killed off the celibacy! I think my husband will probably follow me there, he’s Muslim but quite open minded and accepting of other people and their faiths. He does like vodka though, and they don’t have much of that halfway up the Himalayas! Also, being in India and dying there increases my chances of being reincarnated nearby. I don’t want to come back here, in the west. It’s not good here in the most important of ways, <br />Buddhism appealed to me because it makes the most logical sense. ‘God’ or whatever this energy is that created everything is something we lack the intellectual ability to understand. Look at a human being, then think about those microbes we cannot see that live on its eyelash. Starfish, wombats, skunks, snakes, stink bugs, fireflies, whales, peacocks, ants. Did you know that the domestic ant has a lifespan of 15 years? It lives in a community with others, they even perform surgery on each other. A honey bee lives just one month.<br />What we evolved from in just 200,000 years, yet most other species stayed the same. We are consciousness. This is a video game. We didn’t choose the game, but we can choose how we play within in. <br />Most of us have had troubled childhoods. It is the 1 percent that get raised by Ma Walton. Polishing your legacy doesn’t have to be done confrontationally. Look at what Gandhi did by non violence. <br />Going by the turn around on this blogging site I will probably hear from you sometime in 2020 if we both make it that far.<br />All the best. Hope Christmas is good for you, although Santa probably has you on his naughty list, Happy New Year and all that.<br />T

Hey Prometheus.<br />Re :Roseanne Barr, well they got her in the end didn’t they? When she very first started out they quickly realised the original show was going to be a huge success so they tried to take creative control away from her and employ a team of writers like they do on other shows. she refused, they pressured her, attempted to fire her, and it was only because John Goodman stood up for her that they backed down. But then, she gets wired and loose of lip on twitter and they jumped her and took everything away. I hope she writes something better and smacks back, there is something very malevolent in the entertainment industry. <br />The problem with the Judo/christian mindset is there is no lea way for trouble. We are christian we are good, if you ain’t christian you are a threat to me. Same with Islam, Judaism. The amount of people trying to convert me over the years The mormons, Scientologist and the Abrahamic . I’m not a great Buddhist but I can decide to be at the moment while my mind is mine. I try to be a good human being, but, some people really got it coming, I can’t meditate, never could, I do chant, use the beads, pilgrimages, pray. <br />I think men are supposed NOT to have impulse control, it’s anatomical, that makes them good hunters because they are impulsive and will move at a seconds breath and kill a deer or something. They will make a decision fast, that will take their family to safety instead of, like a woman go into the minutiae of everything. . <br />I’m pretty knackered at the moment. I’m writing this from a hospital bed, had some surgery and feeling weak. I ma6 write more later, don’t know.<br />Stay well and keep them on their toes!<br />T

What good what's evil? A serial killer takes out ten people leaves twenty families and friends to mourn. A man drops a bomb on a town kills two thousand people leaves a million people to mourn lost one's. This is why men go to war an there are few female serial killers. A man lacks 'impulse control', women have it in spades. Men lack the ability to understand consequences and a woman carries around with them like she carries a purse. Comes down to the crux of is there a tally keeper? St Michael with his book, Mohammed and his Angel watching you at all times, an my favourite of course (being Buddhist) the great law of karma, and last but not least the great American Judicial system. A Penitentiary was given name name with the hope that the person Locke up in there would reflect on his/her actions and feel penitent for their actions. But all that seems to happen is a lot of naval gazing feeling sorry for themselves for simply being caught, because after all, don't we all think we are the smartest person in the room? A man will see a can in the street and kick it, a woman would walk past it. Impulse control. But maybe, a good person who wanted to live in a good area with people who they don't feel afraid of would simply pick up that can. There is a third way. T.<br />Ps. You seem cemented in Christian Theology regarding behaviour morals and consequences. May I suggest you immediately start studying comparative religion. Hinduism, Buddhism, Judasim,Islam, Jainism, Rastafarian, Zoroastrian. For example the killing of a cow, either deliberate or accidental in the India subcontinent would result in your immediate death. Cows are sacred to the Hindus, yet a staple dietary requirement to the North Americans.
