About understanding

Just some thoughts.  We celebrate life and death, and accept death not as the end of life but as a part of it, a cycle where energy transforms itself but never dies, or not? No, we don’t, we are so attached to our consciousness that we fear death, death means change, so we fear change and we do the same things every day to avoid this fear of the unknown. We treasure life in all…

If I have to meet someone I would set up the appointment for either 9 am or 2 pm, that way there are little chances that it will drag on and I then I get invited for lunch or for dinner, because it’s too difficult to explain to people that I can’t eat meat or chili, and I don’t like noodles because they use meat stock to cook it in, and it’s uncomfortable to eat…

I had it with the chili, a bit is ok but they put too much in everything, and if I ask the food without it they bring it with chili and they say they forgot because they are used to using chili, and sometimes they say it tastes better with chilli that’s why they put even though I asked them not to. So, how many sexual partners have you had? Have you ever been asked…

Mundane thoughts

Some people say that eating is one of the biggest pleasures in life, but not for us. We don’t eat? We don’t eat what other people say it tastes good, we eat what is good for us. I know many people will say we are missing out a lot because they have been conditioned to believe this kind of food tastes good and this other one tastes bad. We had to opposed preconceived notions regarding…

Hey there buddy 3

  Be Skeptical. If you go to a job interview and the interviewer keeps reminding you how good this job is, then is not a good job. What if I miss getting a really good job because the interviewer was just being honest? You won’t, if your government constantly reminds you how free you are that means you are not free, because in a true free society no one needs to tell you that you…
