We live with anxiety and continue to live with \u00a0hopes because of our media<\/p>\n

Media can manipulate the whole nation \u00a0\u00a0We keep looking for new episodes to keep our memory live<\/p>\n

I listen to a renown Buddhist monk who recited a sermon and said that the \u00a0Last bit of Memory Coming to your Mind before you die ( your good and bad deeds) decides where you are reborn irrespective of good Karma ( good deeds) you have committed<\/p>\n

If it is about some evil act your neighbour did to you and you had a hatred towards him \u00a0and it is the last thing\u00a0 coming to your mind before you die ,you may be re-borne \u00a0as an animal in his garden \u00a0like a porcupine and destroy all his crops !!or\u00a0 urban monkey eating all the bananas ( like what is happening to me now though I am still NOT DEAD !)<\/p>\n

I told my wife that old people get dementia because they have done many good deeds ,,, what ever \u00a0bad karma they would have committed will not come to your mind before you die as you have Cronic Dimentia\u201d<\/p>\n

In our country I think we have some sort of Dimentia and I am happy about it as I can forget and forego !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
