Marblehead Posted August 13, 2017 2 hours ago, Limahong said: Hi Marblehead, You are blessed - albeit an atheist. You deserve your moments. - LimA Yes, blessed too to be an Atheist. My thought was more at being an 18 wheeler owner/operator and contract myself out to whoever had something that needed to go where I wanted to go. Yes, I am at peace with the choices I have made over the last thirty years. Well, with most of them. I've messed up some. Still do. I gave up on trying to be perfect.

You used the word 'too'. 29 minutes ago, Marblehead said: Where I wanted to go. What kind of service provider were you trying to be? One kind - the wrong kind. I definitely would not engage you. Dream on. 29 minutes ago, Marblehead said: Yes, I am at peace May the forces be with you always. 29 minutes ago, Marblehead said: I've messed up some. Still do. But of course. I know. 29 minutes ago, Marblehead said: I gave up on trying to be perfect. Good for you.

Have you ever thought that you might have arrived at TDB unwittingly for a reason? The reason - to help others. Help others? Well for a start through simple and sincere conversations. Why you as "nohbody"? Because you have suffered and emerged a better man. Everything happens for a reason. - LimA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nohbody Posted August 16, 2017 Hey Lima, I'm thankful for the broad view of people and culture that living abroad has provided. There were trade- offs, and living on fenced compounds surrounded by uniformed military people was not a fun way to live (and I see that "military mindset" taking root today in sinister ways across the land of the free...). I'd rather keep life details to myself. I know you don't mean offense. So what about your life? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi nohbody, I woke up in search of cookies/milk and I saw your posting. Thank you. Apparently your living abroad had provided you with healthy mindset. Great. 3 hours ago, nohbody said: There were trade-offs. To me life is about trade-offs. Buddhism and Taoism have helped me to stay balanced thus: (a) Buddhism - impermanence, dettachment, middle path, ... (b) Taoism - dichotomies, dynamic balances, wuwei, ... It is important that I don't trade myself off. 3 hours ago, nohbody said: Living on fenced compounds surrounded by uniformed military people was not a fun way to live Sure. But living with a certain "purpose"? 3 hours ago, nohbody said: I see that "military mindset" taking root today in sinister ways across the land of the free... ... and across the world of the "freed" and "to be freed"? 3 hours ago, nohbody said: I'd rather keep life details to myself. Highly respected. 3 hours ago, nohbody said: So what about your life? My life had a wrong start - (a) a colonised kid (b) a badly scarred 8-year old ~ a year of damaging bullying by a teacher for my high IQ. Luckily I was borne into a family full of love. My life had its up's and down's - impetus for spiritual search and growth. Where am I today? Reborn in many ways - still searching, learning, knowing, "don't want to know", .. How am I at this very moment? Great - conversing with a fellow life traveller thus: (i) he a nohbody and (ii) I a nobody.
