There is also old age pain. I have some of those.

Nice but so complicated. My rule: Sit down and shut up.

These guys are playing now: On my other computer I am editing this guys music getting it ready to add to my collection:

The cat is either alive or dead, but not both. 1, 2, 3, ...

If we can't laugh at our self I think we have a serious problem.

I think that is called "catch a sucker".

And this is why we should not take life too seriously. We see many things we think are wrong or destructive. But we are powerless. Nihilism? Hell no! Reality. We each of us have our own limits. Some can help, some are helpless. We just do the best we can with what we have.

That's a lemur that is well endowed.

If there is one it's likely not toll free.

Yeah, a lot of people made some big time money importing and distributing intoxicating liquors during those years.

Just came back in from working outside. These guys are playing now:

I can't argue that as I am pretty much in agreement with you.

You are correct. There are no absolutes. Except that change is constant. Because if I continue to counter posts that present him in a negative aspect my counter post will be the last post read and that will remain in the mind longer than what was read prior to my post. Well, sure, Trump thinks he is doing the right thing. He selected his platform, was elected based on is platform (certainly not his personality) and he is putting a lot of effort into accomplish the items on his platform. I enjoy discussing politics as long as we who are in the discussion speak "with" the others and not just "at" the others. I had no interest in politics until after I joined the Army. But I was already a Conservative even though I didn't know it as I had never thought about it. My interests vary depending on which Party is in the White House and Congress. When the Democrats are in control I pretty much avoid discussions because too many of my thoughts are negative. And then there are some Republicans I have a hard time agreeing with. So mostly I just remain silent. (I didn't like either of the Bushes or the Tea Party.)

Well, I'm not trying to win an argument in that thread because I know it is impossible to do so. There will be no winners or losers. My main purpose is to try to insure that our president get the respect he deserves. Sure, there are reason to not like him. I don't hold to most of the reasons being expressed in the thread. He is doing the best he can considering his background and the other politicians he has to work with. And really, I'm not even expecting any additional enlightenment from interacting in the thread. I am a Conservative. Trump is representing me in that regard.

If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.

He who is controlled by objects loses possession of his inner self.

Nice work with the camera. Lots of energy going on there.

Hi Hermit. Welcome. I'm sure you will find many discussions to get involved in.

Enough of the 50s for now. Fast forward to the mid-1960s Psychedelic stuff:

Actually, Chuck Willis recorded that before the Diamonds did but Chuck's version wasn't released.

There's one I could easily vote in favor of rescinding.

Back to the 50s:

Nope. In another translation he simply says (paraphrase) "Things are different for man than they are for geese." (Not much help.)

Master Chuang explains how to get beyond worthiness and worthlessness - abide by the Way and maintain integrity. This lesson is repeated in a succession of well-crafted tales. In current phraseology, we would he advised to "keep a low profile" and "mind your own business." The probable multiple authorship of even this one chapter is evident in the repetition, from three slightly different angles, of the story about Confucius being besieged between the statelets of Ch'en and Ts'ai.
