A repost of one of my facebook posts

'It seemed to me that men were born only to grow old, to live out their span, to acquire experience. Men lived to acquire experience; the quality of the experience was immaterial; pleasure and pain--and, above all, pain--had no meaning; to possess pain was as meaningless as to chase pleasure. And even when the illumination vanished, became as thin and half nonsensical as dream, I remembered that I had had it, that knowledge about the illusion of pain.' ~ VS Naipaul, A Bend in the River

'The unity of experience', 'the illusion of pain' are, for me, like the interplay between sadism and masochism, the former begetting the later desperation standing on two different rawness defined by endless self-interest. The illusion, however backed by some sentimental or spiritual ground at last, is as variably risky as the interpretation of a presented idea of any. It's up to if the aggregated experience is workable, though desperate, through one last crash course for some sounder illumination or not, and for which, I think, the need of paramount importance is a workable ground of philosophical enlightenment which is itself heuristic, ever learning, adjustable and thereby robust ever.

'Feedback loop', 'refreezing' to let remain the permafrost of Artic to Tibetan plateau to let do their natural job, 'reforestation' for balancing the sucking in of carbon and releasing of oxygen for our being able to live on this only life-supporting planet so far, 'educating ourselves' on such matters related with the existence of humankind with something grander of meaning than an animal: the former is sort of abstract as the coining of any idea is before getting to it with some sense of personal experience, but it does matter in being familiar with how we live and crave for, more needs, more such needs that aren't worth-craving for at all as we somehow tend to get to it at the end. Yes, it's rather an abstract idea than just a concrete, materialistic entity of being able to satisfy your demand with a diamond ring or something concrete like a Ferrari car; it's. It's about the reaction (feedback) of abnormal melting of permafrost of the areas as of the cause of fossil oil emission (from rigging for it, refinery plants to personal usage to those irresponsible acts), and thereby the release of excess of carbon into the air that turns out into 'heat trapping gas', namely 'greenhouse gas', as of the want of proportionate challengers in balancing it. So, the network or the cycle of cause and effect (loop) of the same reaction experienced in the sense of 'heatwave' or any across the globe, by every individual. Though the webinar was sort of carried out in haste as of the trammel of time now, it's worth-joining and learning for a Tibetan like myself, displaced, in exile.
