A Question

How would you say this in good mandarin? "The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them.Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your story of years, but on your will".

我爱我的妻子。

为什么？ 秀丽。 光华。 软性。 一个敏锐的头脑。 诚实。 尊敬。 勇敢。 愉快的心情。 愉快的人。 好朋友。 深刻的信任。

Belief

The herd has always moved away, en masse, from the truth of the human condition simply to imagine answers that conform to the management of feed lots.

Karma Law Sin

Here's a thought: "There is nothing that is certainly wrong or right to Self, simply by the act of thinking thoughts, nor by doing actions. The Prime Social Notions of Sin, of Karma, and of Law, are the most obvious, corruptive, and most toxic bribes on human earth." This Question and Topic will be in the examination.

Real Death by Real Choice: An Analysis of the Meaning in Japanese Shinto Suicide. Thoughts that arise when reading the works of Yukio Mishima

ritual disembowelment, as a form of chosen death in a brief life of 30 to 100 years,  with a perfectly sharp sword made for this purpose of violence, is not ever done for others; or for some human or godly cause.
it is the planned, accurate, effective and worthy way to end ourselves, simply because we mean too much in our time for the time to bear. Time is limited, as is its burden.

this death must be more painful than anything in our worst life experience to have meaning.

this noble death is the gift of ourself to ourself at the end we choose for ourself.

this death is not taking pills, or using a gun, or jumping out, or driving some car into a wall.

the death we choose must be more thoughtful and purposeful than the life.

it has nothing to do with cause and effect and it has nothing to do with others and nothing to do with disease at all.

it is our own honour we sacrifice to our own knife in our own hand in our own time for our own purpose.

in this way only can we understand the meaning of our own death for ourself before we dont exist.

there is nothing that is made wrong or right simply by thinking it or by doing it.

Eighteen words from Yukio Mishima's beautiful novel 'Thirst for Love'

"Kensuke and his wife had, like all bored people, a sense of kindness that was close to disease."
Copyright, 1950, Yukio Mishima, Tokyo.

The Question: How did he get all that into eighteen simple words? He's just such a fucking good writer. He really is. He's a God we fail to recognise, to our great ongoing... relief. I'm sure he knew he'd never win the Nobel Prize if he said that, but he knew it to be true, so he said it.

For an Australian, Thailand is hard to understand, but China is easy to understand

Thailand is hard to understand, except to Thais. They love their country to the ends of time. They love their beloved good King Rama IX, the Great King, the King of Kings, the Avatar of God, and so do I.

Still, China is much easier for me to understand. It is a much larger land mass than Australia, sure, with higher mountains and giant rivers, for sure, and it has about 16 bordering neigbours where Ausralia is somewhat a lonely island without anyone to learn from, but still, China isn't hard to understand. Just envisage Australians as numbering 1.4 billion goodly people who have been in the one original Australian nation, in a multi-ethnic and continuous human society, for a lot longer than 5000 years, struggling towards the great human goal of harmony. Those good people are working hard and saving hard and analysing hard and thinking hard and doing what they can for their families. That's China...and it includes Tibet province and it includes Taiwan province; and includes a great love for the Koreas, because Family is Family.
