The war on communism and islam extreme terrorism! What created more wars and claimed more innocent lives? What created more extreme communism and more extreme Islamist? Did Cuba really want to be partner of Soviet?

Maybe better said, trying to find a meaning thats was not there in the beginning! People have a tendency to create a meaning out of nothing, just for the ego sake. If Buddha came today, or Jesus, they both would be outrageous and angry to learn and see what people have done in their name! Not to mention how complex their meaning have become, and also huge businesses in their names misleading and exploiting poor people in their names, and and often protects the more wealthy.

True, very true, and if they also manage to speak almost fluently, they will bee seen different. Same the other way around, and a reason I never speak Thai if I do not need to, to locals in Thailand. I know I will never be able to understand completely, and speak fluently. I prefer to speak english, and most Thais who have learned english is very happy to use their skills. My wife learn Norwegian now, and she will speak fluently in 6 months, even before she attends any school, which is the plan for next year when we will move here. She already speaks fluent english,so learning Norwegian is not that hard for her.

Just dont let your ego trouble you with diving deep,and deeper in to philsophy, religion or life teachings, just for the feeling of understanding. Life is what it is, and you cant really fight it by understanding the "true meaning of life" For bad habits, quit one add a new one 😉 Just make sure the new habit is better than the one you replaced

who of you two is more happy than the other in each other places? My wife is most happy with her family close around here, In Norway she is looked as a prostitute. Nobody says it, but thats what everyone thinks, and Im sure the same around in Thailand, but in Thailand it doesnt bugging me, here home in Norway, it kind of getting ounder my skin. How is Thai ladies and their husbands looked at in your own mother countries? Is it different from Thailand?

I was forced to change my life, and I choosed to work and be diciplined and not escape the reality by trying to find the easiest way to live. Dicipline (get up in the morning) Diet Stay away from triggers, toxins and negativity (negativity transformed to positivity by exercises) Exersice mind and body Simple things that works basically Live is like surfing, you go with the wave, not fighting. If a bad wave, be patient, there will be a new one

Very few thais have asked me about my life, my opinions, what Im Thinking, and I found out thats how it is, so I agree with Charlie! It is your presence right here now thats matters to them, and how they percieves you! Simply put your past is no interest to them. They judge you for who you are now, what you do now, your car, your house, how wisely you spend your money, status symbols,cars, house, locationand how you take care of your wife and how you treat the family. If you are a single man in thailand, something is wrong with you, no man should live alone, be alone, and every man need avwoman in their life to take care of them.

Lee Harvold Oswald acted alone!

What a nice coincidence for some, but who killed him and why?

And Im a tax payer, paying my share being part of folketrygden!

Our reality of living with minimum resources and really fighting for our survival, have created the need to be greedy, have ego, collect, save, build bigger and stronger. Most of us who are looking for our inner self, have a luxury problem, where we do not need to fight anymore. I think we should allow ourselves to be who we are and think there is nothing wrong with us, and realise our main problem is boredom and too much spare time to think. Well, that's what I think now, after having spent my time searching for something else in life, both in ego sports, and also the more spiritualistic end of it. Everything have its time, but do not waste your time, spend it wisely, happiness is maybe not what you think it is

Ignorarance at its best! It was never the Native Americans land either?

Its obvious everybody is shocked by the news and affected by the flow of pictures and descriptions of rape, murder of women and children. Everyone is, it is fresh, and it is used purposely to affect us. Forgotten is all reports of abuse, rape and land stealing, war crimesd being done for decades, bombed to ruins every now and then, and kids imprisoned and detained. That's the problem when one side's suffering is not recognized. Criticism of Israel is not taken well, and claiming everyone who criticises Israel must be a supporter of Hamas, that's another weapon to silence the critics and to stop a healthy debate about why things happen and reasons for these desperate, crucial terrorist attacks. Two evil doesn't make one right, and turning the blind eye to one side's abuse is a crime against humanity itself. I personally find it hard to separate those two, to find one less evil than the other! The Israelis total dominance and systematic abuse have been going on for decades. The sad things, once more terrorism will be awarded, and that's a dangerous step.

A very good example of "lack of impulse control" not so different from "so I stopped one guy and told him the bad manners" Sometimes it is just better to not nothing, breathe, relax, sabai sabai The at of not be upset by the world around you. Things you can not control

I practice impulse control!

Just to remove one mole, Bangkok hospital wanted 22k. I remeved 3 in Norway for 700 baht all included with cancer check. Sometimes my tax money repaying. No way Im ever going to pay tax to Thailand

You have healthy cravings and desire, and a good way to avoid unhealthy habits, is to create new ones. We are just humans, and we are easily distracted and also easily addicted to unhealthy habits. If you feel yoga teaching and retreats make you stronger, good, but if not,and it just give you guilt, find something else. Common problem religion and other lifestyle belief system creat in humans is guilt! How to free yourself from guilt? Thats the question, and thats not done over the night. What do you want to achieve? First question you have to ask yourselves, who I am, what do I want? How do I want it, and how to get it

Your brain is active by having no thoughts so no worries! But, there is also other important stimulus you can add. Learn something new, reading subjects you have interest for, sports, challenge yourself, and most important to feel good is a balanced diet. Being a vegetarian or other extreme diets (keto) can be good for shorter periods, but we all need a balanced diet for optimized function. Meditaion is an escape and do not cure the root of your problems. However breathing technique is great for mind and body control, and involvess your core muscles, and great for staying healty together with other activities. Yoga retreats is in my opinon brainwashing schools. Have yet to see any retreats in Thailand who is not there just to make you addicted and milk you for your money

Thats one side of the cruelty, and you choose one side only. Israel is good at using their view only to try to get opinions on their side. However it can seem right now it works against them. Even my father who is 85 years, have changed his view, and I never thought that would happen in his lifetime. Im shocked,

Well, life is easy with one side rhetoric, do not need to question why it is so, and how it ended up as it is! To easy

Well, you got some reading to do, Us and Iraq relationship started way back before that. Read where Iraq got their chemicals from, they ended up using on the kurds. Also read why some middle east countries ended up on black list or terror regime lists. Control of oil? In March 1982 the USA decided to remove Iraq from its list of countries supporting terrorism in order to be able to help Saddam Hussein to win the Iraq-Iran war. Following, the United States extended credits to Iraq for the purchase of American agricultural commodities, the first time this had been done since 1967. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationale_for_the_Iraq_War

I sit back and wait and see if she gets cancelled or not for express what she feels and feel is right, and her right to say!

Tax on wine have gone down, and bought a ok wine for 395 last time I was there. Beef, eggs, pork have went through the roof for the locals, but for me? Not so much Our two week supplies used to be 6500 bath, now about 8000.

As long hate is as strong as it is on both sides, there is no wonder why this conflict will continue in the future. Lack of reflection and realism is the problem on both sides.

Still you avoid the question! When you look at the map of Israel and palestinian land, what do you see? What do you think about their situation?
