Hi QiBody, It is past midnight at my end. Time to Zzzzz ... I am purified; my pillow will not be wet. Good night my sweet lady - from a very sweet man. - LimA

Hi QiBody, I specially like your - "I especially like the tears that sneak up on me unexpectedly, they feel so pure". You sounded as just my mother. Now a tear has sneaked up on me. - LimA

Hi Marblehead, Were you an ex-teacher? - LimA

Hi Marblehead, Have you a ‘best all time’ answer? I have. You like to know the answer? But first, I must let you know the question, right? This question was addressed to my mother: “Can I go and play football?” Her best answer – “Yes, but don’t forget dinner OK?”. Now when my son asks me the same question, this is my response: “Have finished your homework?” Any naughty boys around here? Brian - you are one, right? Why are you so “very naughty”? - LimA

Hi qicat, I ask questions because I do not want to be a dupe coping in silence. The same opportunity for asking the same question(s) may not come my way again. Since young I am encouraged to ask questions respectably. I am also reminded to ask for right answers hopefully from the right people. And if I am uncomfortable with something somebody says, I will keep a respectable silence. No two persons are the same. Even I change with time. If someone posts something of interest to me, I will like to know more. I want to be on the same page with that person so that I can learn from her/him. I enjoy the sharing of/from others with great humour. TDB abounds with great humorous characters. I particularly enjoy the sassy words of Mr Moonbow. I like to pull his leg with teasing questions in return. I do not have a kingdom. I am just a poor vagabond in the street begging for answers in the direction of the Void. I am not into tantiens but chakras. Thank you for your concern anyway. - LimA

Hi Fa Xin, Thank you for reminding me about CMYK color model which is this: Color printing typically uses ink of four colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black). When CMY “primaries” are combined at full strength, the resulting “secondary” mixtures are red, green, and blue. Mixing all three gives an imperfect black. Read Wikipedia account for a colorful time. (Thanks to you too Brian - for bringing this word - 'subtractive' - back to me. It had been subtracted from my living consciousness until you came along). - LimA

Hi Marble again, again & again, "Moonbow thru the mist of a waterfall", Night time - see what? Unless YOU can see "moonbow" anytime through, for example, meditation? - LimA

Hi Marblehead, R G B - refer to the three 'tantiens'? If so, R = lower tantien? G = middle tantien? B = upper tantien? The three tantiens coloured thus? Apology - one question too many. - LimA

Hi Marblehead again, Alignment of the CHAKRAS => RAINBOW? - LimA

Hi Marblehead, In north, south, east and west. Rain before rainbow is the test. Cheers to tears? - LimA

Hi Kar3n, I had indicated that my posting on 24 May 2017 re this thread would be my last. But there was no closure for me. Why? I felt that I had not adequately addressed the association of ‘tears’ and ‘women’ from a guy’s perspective. Now I like to make good my above inadequacy with this which had influenced my association: - On March 16, 2016, when President Obama nominated Merrick Garland to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, he “cried during his nomination speech and it was a humble moment” (Becky Bracken). Bracken added: - Obama nominated a distinguished … legal mind … but this powerful … Judge Merrick cried during his nomination speech, showing how much the honor of being nominated for the position means to him. - To find someone … marked by complex and sensitive issues, to find someone who just about everyone not only respects but genuinely likes, that is rare. - (He) is, not just as lawyer but as a man. - Garland took the podium and delivered a speech ... Breaking into tears, he described his parents … And he thanked his mother, sisters, wife, and daughters. - His dad Cyril died in 2000, but Garland said he wished his father would have lived to see his son nominated to the Supreme Court. I like to believe that most people can identify with Bracken's words. Now I am at peace. - LimA (p.s. Thank you 康真73 for initializing this thread.)

Hi QiBody, You are very kind to post thus. - LimA

Good morning Marblehead, Unfortunately yes. You were immoral before. But apparently your corrupted past had dissipated quite nicely. Why? Peace & contentment are now within your grasp. Dream on - you are getting there (for your good work and repentance at TDB). At this juncture wuwei will serve you well as a polarised reborn again Taoist. A great weekend. - .LimA

Hi Marblehead, You had indicated - I rarely 'delete'. Yet in your subsequent posting, you wrote - I have found that the older I get the fewer "wants" I have and this really lessens my anxieties, Are you a natural rolling stone or are you born dualistic? Any difference(s) between the Buddhist ‘emptiness’ and the Taoist ‘void’? Do you know why you are not yet a immortal? - LimA

Hi Marblehead, Your life is already complete. You have already gotten 'emptiness' You lucky fella. I still have to avoid many things. I want to reach the 'void'. - LimA

Hi Brian, I buy this from Sub - "It is true. I guess I forgot how important it is to build a stable self that is focused on itself first and not bothered by the outside too much, because if something has to change it is me first to get everything going". I did something similar by emptying my mind and reintroduced myself to myself. It wasn't easy but it just started to work one fine day - out of the blue. I am still getting along in that direction. Sometimes with difficulties, but generally it is OK. My favorite button on the keyboard is - 'delete'. - LimA

Hi Sub, Happy One Month! In my traditional domain, one month old babies are celebrated with red-dyed hard boiled eggs, among other goodies. Keep the shells on before dying; but please remove them before eating. But if you culture is shilly-shally about egg shells, then eat your red eggs accordingly. Thank you for your courage to start this thread; and your courage to bite the bullet. You have shown us that we can take ownership of our own problems, no matter what. Trust everyone reading your thread is encouraged to do likewise, depression-wise ... and be wise. Everything is all about the MIND, depression included. March on brother! - LimA

Hi Brian, My goodness. Will pray before I sleep. Will sleep with a mutt smile to keep anything 'feline' away. Peace sister peace. Meow - LimA

Hi Brian, You are brainy, you take the Wikipedia path. I have recently met a cat of dubious origin. He is a 'qicat'. It is approaching 3am in Singapore. Time to put my head on my pillow. Meow, - LimA

Hi Brian, Thank you. What's a cat of uncertain ancestry? - LimA

Hi Brian, What is mutt? Men's butts? - LimA

Hi Sub, You appear upbeat. Keep it up! Maybe you would like to date the moon again tonight. She will be nicely rounded and full (don't stray). Strengthen your moment of silence and peace. Proud of you, brother. - LimA

Hi Marblehead, Trust you to bite my bait. Brian is naughty but wise. He kept his silence and peace. But you are a trouble maker. All women? Sisters of course, You have no feelings. But of course - you walk around as a over-sized pebble, humming: Stoney, happy all the time. Stoney, like the summertime. The joy you find in living everyday. Stoney, how I love your simple ways. Ladies just leave that boulder alone. He likes to rock the boat and blast everything to pieces. But good to use him as a stepping stone to peace. Peace sisters peace! - LimA

Hi Brian, Your bloodline is going global? Good for you. All men are brothers. All women? - LimA

Hi Brian So you have maternal Scandinavian blood. How about your father's father? - LimA
