Hence, we are always unhappy.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, wisdom - the ability to see things as they are - is the key. Wisdom includes compassion as well as embrassment.etheoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412913576145631384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014075006969917149.post-9270941615533885362009-01-15T10:49:00.000+08:002009-01-15T10:49:00.000+08:00Hi,Found your blog through de minimis Sakmongkol a...Hi,<BR/>Found your blog through de minimis Sakmongkol and JDM. Impressive.<BR/><BR/>I've briefly read a few of the articles here and found them surprisingly holistic although the topic is economics. I salute the profound thinking involved here, showing that economics is merely one factor that affects life.<BR/><BR/>Just to add on, wealth, power, and many other things are all relative. And often, it is these "relative" values that make us insecure. <BR/><BR/>If we need to feel secure by knowing (or causing) others to be less wealthy or less powerful, then we are caught in this "relative" trap.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it is these insecured ones that need to continuously prove how powerful they are, and how they can impose their version of their "peace" on others.<BR/><BR/>One thing different between us humans and the rest of the mammals is our ability to reflect and feel embarassment. Perhaps it is a much needed emotion.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Icarius-outsight.Icariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007465587471139186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014075006969917149.post-2688982150914659382009-01-11T01:24:00.000+08:002009-01-11T01:24:00.000+08:00i most definitely will, etheorist. :Di most definitely will, etheorist. :Dmekyamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821403905513232293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014075006969917149.post-48324899971248824752009-01-11T00:17:00.000+08:002009-01-11T00:17:00.000+08:00mekyam,If you happen to find the magic lamp, pleas...mekyam,<BR/><BR/>If you happen to find the magic lamp, please do let me know.etheoristhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412913576145631384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014075006969917149.post-78820046862434797672009-01-10T13:37:00.000+08:002009-01-10T13:37:00.000+08:00hi etheorist,i'm right now reading your back-entri...hi etheorist,<BR/><BR/>i'm right now reading your back-entries and feeling like aladdin in the treasure cave for the first time. :D<BR/><BR/>[i trashed my earlier comment because there was the archive list, literally poking me in the face, and i didn't see it. duh!]mekyamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821403905513232293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014075006969917149.post-73357439316473446472009-01-10T12:57:00.000+08:002009-01-10T12:57:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.mekyamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821403905513232293noreply@blogger.com
