Never a truer word have you spoken in this thread.

You are saying that simplicity and minimalism are two key elements integral for attainment of Happiness?

Can we please think more about Yin and Yang? Historically: Yang is often seen as positive. Yin is sometimes seen as negative. Yin represents the Moon. And, we love the Moon. The Moon is always a very positive round silvery disk, during that time of the month. The Chinese sound, "yin", also means silver. Having much silver is a positive thing. Yang, on the other hand, makes me think of another word beginning with the letter W. Other than this, is there anything positive about a Yang? I mean...What can you even do with a Yang? This concept of Yin and Yang is just too foolish, probably.

I am sure that I mentioned this, but only slightly in passing, to you. Perhaps you were busy on some other forum, at the time. Either way, it's of little consequence at the moment.

Dogmatism is not my thing. Dogs are my thing. By the way, did I ever mention to you that there is this extremely intelligent dog near my house? He only barks when he sees me. I love barking dogs.

So, I take it, you wish that we continue with the Montessori teaching approach? No grades. Just play?

Do you want my opinion about what you have just written? Or not? I will not grade your writing, today.

How old are you, My Son? What is your claim to literary fame, My Son?

Formal Logic can be divided into two sets. There is Inductive Logic, and there is Deductive Logic. In order to make it easier for you, please just think like this: Inductive Logic: YIN Deductive Logic: YANG The first is obviously female (YIN) The second is obviously male (YANG) Formal Logic is not such an easy course at university. Just keep these two concepts in mind: YIN and YANG

Elementary Formal Logic. Nothing can be BOTH a pussy and a non-pussy. There is Inductive Logic. There is Deductive Logic. And then....as you mentioned....There is Pussy Logic. (maybe more your words, rather than mine)

Sorry, my friend. I thought you might know this place where Dickens learned to write. This is Marshalsea. Without this notorious debtors' prison in Southwark, we would not have the Works of Dickens, obviously. By the way, Dickens was a prolific writer. And yet, nobody complained about his writing "too much". I guess that I am no Dickens. Right? The POINT being that Happiness can be found in the strangest of places. Dickens found his happiness in debtors prison. And so, we can say, it's not over until it's over.

I know you know of this place. "the crowding ghosts of many miserable years" True happiness can be found in these places, nevertheless.

Nothing is both a Dog and a non-Dog. Do you understand what I mean?

Very nice cat. And, obviously, too fat to walk on the street.

Actually, this is no longer so. The Nobel is now almost meaningless, or even less than meaningless. In fact, in some circles, the Nobel might even have a negative image. The Nobel might not necessarily be completely unbiased. And, too often, the Nobel might be perceived as being overly political in nature. This is not a new thing. The Nobel has never been granted in an unbiased way. Still, if you are given the Nobel, then just take the money and run.

By girder, you of course mean member. By joist, you of course mean what? You seem to be comparing the girder to the male member? And the Angkrit to English? Nothing remains the same. Change is all about you. Your mirror is beside you. Take a look. What do you see?

This is mutton. And, this is lamb. There is a difference.

1965? Hmmmm...... Good!

In order to say for sure, (or fairly sure), then one might have needed to first measure the level of "happiness" before and after the destruction of the walled city. And, as you say, without any hard data from any longitudinal study, then one cannot justifiably gloat, either way. All that I know is that, after the walled city was demolished, I was still able to have a decent lamb vindaloo, here: 2b8bc0bc-f892-11e9-87ad-fce8e65242a6_image_hires_174253.webp

We in the colonies are incapable of writing English like this, like the way English should be treated, if only we knew how. True English wordsmiths are unknown in the colonies. In the colonies, we speak and write a different language, just as fine, but not English. It's like Stilton cheese. There is only one place to get the real thing.

Landing at Kai Tak was never so easy for new pilots. And, looking left from the cockpit, you could see the so-called walled city. And, going into the walled city, there were many glorious sights, and an entire harmonious community. Much of Hong Kong no longer exists. And, since the glory days of Hong Kong are now pretty much over, then what is the point of living...almost.

Some who go there, to Antarctica, do not just go for a short time. (not making a pun) Some who go there, go forever.

Please do not worry. You are already doing quite well. Being happy a few times is more than most could hope for. Realize that you are most fortunate to not be happy ALL THE TIME. And, let it go at this.

Not the same experience. I prefer the Château. (The Château is pretty amazing once you get inside, and begin to climb the stairs) And, on holidays, sometimes, the locals burn the town down. This has happened once or twice. I was there at the time.

Speaking of Rothmans... How many of you guys have spent the night at the Château Frontenac? You can smoke Rothmans here.
