  1. Good old, childhood trauma. My wife is convinced that intimacy, doesn’t need to go beyond the mind. Needing cuddles and sex, are about my unresolved issues, she says. To some extent, she is right. We did try having another partner. When my energy was directed to the other person. My wife relaxed, and was nicer to be with. But in the end, my feelings, the other person’s feelings, and attention were stretched. So we didn’t continue. Relationships are more complicated, than simple platitudes. Of do this, don’t do this, bad, good. Life is a journey, to navigate, the best you can. It’s not supposed to be easy.

  2. My dear friend, gave me this book, from his recently departed father’s collection. To read on the plane, on my way to meet my wife in Malaysia. After being apart for a month. 11hr flight, I’m sitting between two other men. Wanting to cry out loud, sobbing between them. (As they slept)? As I read this book. On our trip in Malaysia and Indonesia. We went to buddhist temples, Tamil Hindu caves, joined a service in a mosque. At night, I read Siddhartha to my wife. Tomorrow I will give the book to my friend Robert. A generous soul, who has survived cancer, and a stroke. Who is flying to Portugal, for a long visit, with an old friend. The highlight of our just finished trip. The day before returning home. Two little giggling girls ran up to me. Took the back of my hand and pressed it to their cheek and forehead. Then ran off to their home. A few minutes later, a storm drove us into a doorway. Where we were invited in for tea, with a charming young woman. Who told us of her home on a remote island. There is nothing like walking, in a strange land. With joy in your heart.

  3.  @floridaLise  To go and destroy all the life forms, on another planet. We need to fix, the precious gift, that we have.

  4. Tibet is special, they are (were) the most spiritual country. You don’t invade a temple. Strip its resources, and force change the culture.

  5. We may have a much better world. If there weren’t, insecure driven people. If it meant, no dictators, and wars, wow!!!

  6.  @DaPryor  Oh boy, that's the question. We all go back to our childhoods. Me wanting to rescue my mom. The grand prize, getting love and affection, from someone who isn't available. You can see it in them, but they are afraid to express it. Their own trauma blocking them.  It's like when I was younger, wanting to break out of my own bubble. Not being able to dance, and feel free to express myself. Seeing the same, in the person you love.  My wife feels that if she opens herself up, she will lose her identity, lose herself. (that's the point). She always wants to travel. To find a missing something. We have traveled a lot. But when discussing it, i hold my hand on her chest, giving calm energy. Saying, this is where we find what we are looking for. We have tried counselling, each time she felt attacked. But, that doesn't mean, we haven't come a long way. It's about learning to give, and accept trust. Finding peace in myself, having to learn patience. Learning to be sure your partner feels safe. Feeling love in general, just for being alive, and healthy. I do believe you can love anyone, who is open and vulnerable. When you love someone, they are the most beautiful person in the world. Regardless of what they look like. Yes I knew, like me, she was also broken.

  7. One more thing, on being with another. I say to my wife, that taking a lover. Would be a bridge between us. Ideally someone who can love openly, to bring us together. An angel.  She understands and appreciates, what I mean by that. This is part of the fantasy. As we try to find each other.

  11. Elon, may not have been allowed, to have an opinion. He has been a voice, for the CCP. Since his company, and wealth, is completely reliant, on their favour. He did say, Taiwan “reunification”. By any measure, that is inexcusable.

  12. Going from millions of petroleum powered cars, that can last decades. To electric cars, that require many poisonous metals, mined in countries with child labour. Processed in China, where they are polluting us all. Making two new coal plants a week. Giving his tech to China. That is aggressively building out it’s military. Promising to build 3000 nukes. Every time we create “better” tech. We really just find a way to eat up more of the natural world. Make more room, for more people. Without nature, we all fall down.
