Being positive is always a good thing, but I did explain in a previous post as to why I have been cynical most of my life, and cynicism and being positive are not natural bedfellows. However, I do have some good days among the dross, as in today when some bad people were evicted out of my life. So, even the negative can feel good on occasion. Anyway, sometime in the not too distant future, whatever I am like is going to be of zero relevance as I vanish up the crematorium's chimney.

If you paid taxes to the government you are just as contaminated as the rest of us.

An RCD will still save you even if nothing is earthed. In NZ we can buy individual RCDs that plug into the wall and appliances are plugged into them. I assume such are available in Thailand.

I wasn't specifically addressing a Billie Piper fan when I referred to humanity, but if you paid taxes in the UK you also paid for the means to kill people that the military use. None of us are 100 % innocent.

Unless you are a Thai, you must be a porter working in a western hospital ( I can't see a farang being allowed to be a porter in a Thai hospital ), so I was referring to a retired person living in LOS.

Hmmmm. The "challenges" we face are nothing compared to those that have gone before. The Black Death killed so many that entire societies were changed, the Mongol hordes threatened the very existence of Europe, Columbus brought nothing good to the indigenous people's of America, etc. Perhaps it's because humanity cares only about now, that humanity thinks a minor plague like covid which killed only a few million is a cosmically big deal. We have had 50,000 years to become civilized and stop killing each other, but it's like we never left the cave. All we do is invent better ways of killing each other and polluting our environment.

Sounds more like that group that still use horses and carriages because they reject all modern things. Forget their name.

Plenty of people interested in politics now and we still ended up being ruled by the .......................... IMO the problem is that no sane person wants to be a politician anymore.

Hmmmm. Only way a man could naturally be pregnant would require transplanting a female reproductive system into the man, and then he'd have to be given the hormones that his body doesn't produce for the duration of the pregnancy. No matter the desires of a certain subsection of mankind, it's not going to happen, unless it's to a male looking hermaphrodite that just happens to have a functioning female reproductive system.

and the sunset is indeed spectacular. Altogether a good day today. Nature is wonderful.

My interest in spirituality back then extended only to religious type spirituality. Took me 40 more years to understand that spirituality is in everything.

Nah. I was a farm hand for two years and only wore shorts in summer.

When I arrived in LOS, girls holding hands was common. Seemed to have stopped a while back though. I did know that girls didn't like holding hands in public or having guys hands on their heads. Always an exception though- my first Thai GF liked to put my hand on her head in public, and my wife always held my hand in public.

They cover up to stop getting tanned, IMO. I never did get over women wearing balaclavas in the heat.

Perhaps because they think it will stop farangs looking at them.

I never had a problem avoiding such people. Perhaps you need to change the places you go, or even move to a place without farangs, like I did. The problem for me was that Thailand was becoming too much like western countries.

The two people that did the most harm in my life were the two women I loved, and the next most harmful were 2 guys I'd been friends with for 25 and 30 years. No wonder I gave up on making new friends.

Long ago I read all those books ( Celestine Prophesy, Road less travelled, etc ) but none of then satisfied my curiosity about things spiritual. They were interesting reads though.

Do you think that God would care specifically about humans on one planet in the universe? There are probably billions of species on just planet Earth, and untold billions of stars in the universe, of which probably all or most have planets so untold trillions of species. OR do you believe that this insignificant planet is the only one in the entire universe that has life on it?

I had a similar experience with one of those guys that hangs around in public places trying to convert the heathens. Ended with him saying I was going to hell!

That must be a miracle as I doubt anyone now actually knows what Jesus looked like. I suspect you are referring to the Euro version pictures.

To return to the subject of karma. I'm having second thoughts as two people that were making my life miserable just got evicted by going too far. Could be karma, or could be that God saw my misery and made it happen, or it could just be life as it happens. Whatever, the sky is bluer that it was yesterday, the sun shines brighter, and no doubt the sunset will be spectacular. Happy days.

A man can be pregnant! A foetus only requires a blood supply to survive, and IMO an implanted foetus could get such from something in a man's abdomen. I'm not saying that it would last the entire 9 months or that it would be a viable person after it was surgically delivered. Happens to women when they have ectopic pregnancies. The world is so insane now that it will be no surprise to me if some man did actually try.

No need. I got a letter from a solicitor in Nigeria telling me how I can claim 15 million $. I'll be moving into a mansion with hot and cold running women soon. All my prayers have been answered.

Seaweed is edible ( the Japanese like to eat it ), so the blob may be an opportunity to feed the world.
