Slow Fuse Karma

I see that Japan has released the Chinese fishing boat captain without an accompanying apology. Well, what can one expect from a nation that hasn't yet apologised to China for the horror of the Nanjing
Massacre and the many many millions of Chinese bodies burned in the streets by the Japanese?

Interestingly enough, the West didnt and still doesnt care about that at all yet selectively finds the Holocaust, the same thing on a smaller scale, unpalatable...but I guess they weren't important, like the jews, they were only chinese.

At that time in WW2 China was called 'the sick man of Asia' and within Japanese Shinto culture one does not apologise to the sick/weak.

Interesting how China is no longer sick and Japan looks increasingly unwell... poor things.

It's not Instant Karma... but it's getting there.

USA

There's discussion in the USA regarding a deranged student shooting a whole bunch of colleagues with the Gun Lobby coming up with the interesting notion that if ALL the students carried guns then the mass murder would have been prevented...the deranged one would have been killed by the non-deranged masses of law-abiding students.
This no doubt explains why the USA is currently killing people in wars around the world. The sane masses must arm themselves to make sure they can kill the deranged USA? This is the machinations for peace?
It's such a bizarre and juvenile cult, the USA...not even a culture, but a cult; and a very mad one.

from Michel de Montaigne, 1580AD

"人生的价值不在于生命的长度，而在于我们如何生活。对生活的满意度取决于你对生活的愿望，而不是你经年的叙事 "

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.
