The Reality of Existence vs the Hope of Eternity
Walker 88 , you make one fundamental philosophical mistake , even if your questions prove your desire to understand more about the functioning of the Universe , what is a good thing . Astrophilosophy . Find out about what is 'out there ' . You will see astonishing photos about that taken by the James Webb telescope ... https://webbtelescope.org/news/first-images/gallery https://webbtelescope.org/images https://science.nasa.gov/mission/webb/multimedia/images/ Look at those photos and try to understand the dimension of the Universe ... ( a little meditation helps ... ) You will come to realize that our planet , our solar system , is soooo small in comparison . Not to talk about the human species , all humans on the planet together seem , universally seen , of no importance at all . And you , as an individual member of this species , are even less important . Yes , there is a little spirit inside you ( you may call it ' soul ' if you like ) , that is immaterial and therefore not measurable ( yet ) . Our species likes to think that we know everything . But that is definitely not the case . There are more dimensions than the four dimensions that are known to us , we are simply not able to realize and see that . There is at least one more spiritual and immaterial dimension that we cannot prove to exist . May be even more ...? Anyway , I have to cut it short , so essential : Too many Galaxies to count in Universe ( estimation is 400 billions ) . The question is what does all this exist for ? What is the purpose of existence ? I am not able to answer this , last , question , as I am not evolved enough to know . But I can tell that the Universe , ( in my opinion ) , is just a giant experiment . There are many civilizations , many ' dominant ' species on their own planets , too many to know or even imagine ... They all evolve in time ... many will cease to exist , because they destroyed the natural balance of their respective ecosystems . Other will survive and evolve more , may be to a point where they finally find the answer to the question about the final purpose of existence ...? You can call it all a " game " if you like ... there are winners and losers . The losers simply cease to exist , and disappear . If you think ( as me ) , that every living thing is inhabited by an immortal spirit , where will these spirits go after the individual dies ? The fifth dimension , the spiritual one , may be related to what astronomers describe as ' dark matter ' and ' dark energy " . That is written on a page that has not been revealed to us yet ... Anyway , the goal in the life of everybody should to be to enable our species to survive and further evolve by trying to restore the natural balance of the biosphere that mankind needs to survive . If not , our species will disappear and fail the ' universal test ' . Bye bye ...

PM Prioritizes Higher Education and Innovation
In a politicians mindset education translates only into making money , profits . A higher education helps critical thinking as well ... That is why the thai education level is so low . Only the kids of rich parents have the chance of getting a god education , because they are expected to become a part of the future ' Elite ' . A good education should become available for every kid willing to learn , but that is not wanted by the government .

Move Forward MP weeps during debate in parliament
That is true in some way ... In many countries ( look at the US ) , the one party that wins the elections with a tiny majority means that the vote of the electorate is nearly evenly split in half . What abut the 49% ( or so ) of voters whose party did not win ? In a real democracy they should be somehow represented in the governing body as well . In that way, only coalitions formed between the biggest parties , ( who , together , represent most voters ) , are really democratic .

Deputy PM Somsak makes false claim over cancer cure
There is another plant used to cure cancer : Laboratory tests conducted at the University of Newcastle and Hunter Medical Research Institute have shown that a modified form of medicinal cannabis can kill or inhibit cancer cells without impacting normal cells, revealing its potential as a treatment rather than simply a relief medication. https://www.newcastle.edu.au/newsroom/featured/tests-show-potential-for-medicinal-cannabis-to-kill-cancer-cells It seems , in any case , that it is a good prophylaxis that prevents cancer to appear .

Yingluck Patiently Awaits Homecoming In Thaksin’s Style
... a period of time behind bars ? That should be doable , just put some ( bamboo ) bars in front of her bedroom bed ( at her home of course ) . Just for a day or so , she will be pardoned and free soon after ... At least she is nicer to look at than her brother . Will she go the hospital way after her return , just as her brother ...? Probably not , that would be too obvious . They will find another way , like house arrest for a week or so ... Farangs , as guests in this country , can only look at this soap opera in awe of their ingeniosity .
