No thoughts, just consciousness

Become aware.

Life is one.

It is what it is.

Accept and don't resist.

No thoughts, just presence

Just be.

I think Dimitrios is being serious. What does he mean? He is saying that Korea like someone you have a relationship with has a certain beauty, but often we try so hard to mold that person or place into something it is not, and we have to decide whether we can take that place or person with the beauty it has or not or pack our bags and get on a Boeing 747 and kiss the tarmac when you land in Dallas or Toronto or see the beauty where you are at and appreciate the moment and the cherry blossoms and those yellow flowers whatever the heck they are called....

Love the place you are in, love the one you're with...

Where does that love the one you're with come from?

are you using verbal irony????

I guess you dont look down at the piles of vomit or spit every few feet. Have never seen the buckets of feces infested toilet paper that azummas pull from the subway trash cans. Are oblivious to the smacking, spitting, sucking sounds, azuma gum popping, all around you. The people stare and push, and seem to act like cavemen. even the sound of the language disturbs the peace. Peace............let me think....... Now the SWiss Alps are a beautiful place. but korea, only a rat or a stray dog would feel at home. Or......maybe a kyopo with a low self esteem.

I'm guessing your use of the Canadian flag is ironic symbolism. Please enlighten.

seem?


this place is a total joke. you said it all with the rest of your post. the things they like most are western-influenced and there isnt the foresight to see that things will only continue in this direction to greater and greater degrees. korea is trying to become the west without admitting or realizing it and while its happening they will continue to act bitter and arrogant until all noticible differences are removed.
