That which was never born can never die, therefore deathless. Is this "awareness"?
If pigs could fly how will we prevent getting pig<deleted> on our heads? It's pointless raising an extreme scenario that is nowhere near happening. Yes, there are probably other lifestyles that might be very positive, satisfying and rewarding, someone choose the Buddhas path if they believe the benefit to sacrifice ratio outweighs the alternatives. The classical presentation might be "A life of denial and sacrifice in order to extinguish re-birth" but when you look into the practice techniques and the the Buddhas teaching in the scriptures it's mostly about freeing the mind here and now. Most Indian religions have that same classical formula as basis, its the Indian religion problem statement, the Buddha used it also but only really as a background. I think you'd be better off looking into what the Buddhas unique teachings were rather that what he integrated from his culture and time. That which is reborn is not us/me/you but what we do in life is our legacy. Your children are not us/me/you either and yet you would do anything to help them get into a position to have a good life after you are gone, if you do have a kammic link to a future life wouldn't you do the same? It's not that different. If you believe there are many lifestyles which can maximise balanced pleasure, love, enjoyment, & satisfaction in life whilst limiting pain and suffering without a life of renunciation and denial, why didn't you choose one? -

Former PM Thaksin Shinawatra Advocates Legalising Online Gambling in Thailand
Good call Khun Thaksin. A few of Thailand’s neighbours have already legalised casino gambling. It’s time Thailand catch up or risks getting left behind in chasing the tourism dollar. -

Reading comprehension is a good skill. Learn it. No where did I say he was found guilty in a court of law nor that he was removed from office. In fact I said the opposite. -

Yesterday I ate at Fuji after a long time of not eating there. Who gets the 10%? Waiters?
You might find it hard to believe....so why not just ask the staff in restaurants what happens to the service charge and they will tell you. When you talk about upmarket restaurants, I take that to include restaurants in 5-star hotels. Many of Bangkok's 5-star hotels produce fancy graphics each month to show the share of the service charge staff get. The hotels compete this way to attract staff. Each staff member's share of the service charge can run to 60,000 or 70,000 baht in a good month, over and above their salary. -
