Living together - Lonely death

    This post discuss something about living together, lonely dead. In the old day somewhere like in SEA or East Asia when the whole family member living together, the neighbours and the whole village are living in very close relationship. Inside each family, the relation between grandparent, uncle ... is close too. Whatever conflict and/or tension between family member, neighbour or between village, at the end the relationship seem good. In the tradition, when a people die, often whole village will attend ceremony and carry him or her to graveyard whatever the conflict, hatred between two people or family.
     Town and Country. Do you remember this lesson in the Streamline English book ? It is on unit 64:

Town and country has it's own advantage and disadvantage you can easily spot and feeling it. As J. Krishnamurti, chose always imply contradiction.
Creation is choiceless, as life is choiceless, as understanding is choiceless. Likewise is truth; it is a continuous action, an everbecoming, in which there is no choice. It is pure discernment.

 Choice in itself indicates the lack of freedom.
A man who is really free has no choice; he is free, not to do this or that, but to be. As long as we have choice, we are really not free and we are not really individuals.

   The physical characteristics of countryside is not the main thing that decide behavior between peoples. There are many factors like tradition, economy status, physical structure like house, road, wall... The weather condition, nationality (ie. ethic group) ... These factor need careful and /or serious research.
...
   City, town with it's physical structure has many advantage in saving space, energy optimization... But apartment building in most common design is for separate people to their cubicle. It is difficult to concluded that. For example in a poor village, if two neighbour has a different in wealth, then the chance that two family separated is higher.
    Lonely and boredom is the nature of human (?). Here is some discuss on this:

   About private life, Everyone has their own private life and we should/have to respect it. In Japan, cross to another home (in case build relationship or helping) is understand as close family member (?). I think helping another or keep good  relationship event with stranger is normal, nature and should not be considered as a serious relationship or buddy...
    BBC - Trials of Life -  07 Living Together.

    Japanese Lonely death:

Can you eat normally while watching this ? :)
I can :-), Why ?
I don't know but something like meditation can explain. Event before I know about meditation, the whole my life have created my mind (I think normal) that I feel nothing in this case. As Bruce Lee have said "I have no fear". What would J.K. think when he watched this ?

   Apartment cubicle is good for saving space, energy, for private life... But for death it's not good. Imagine your elevator just used for carry dead body ? Or your apartment is owned by a lonely dead man before ?
...

Some conclusions:
- Japanese and many other Asian country is over crowded. So how many is ideal for stable and sustainable living not only for human but also for whole wild life ? I think the number is depend on many thing but it can be much higher with developed country. And I think the aged population of Japan is not a problem. Japan seem to be the future of many country. Its population will and should close to a stable one. Imagine when you come to a vast beautiful and wealthy area in the New World (America), do you want a big family, that mean you will have 3, 4 or more children ? But if you living in a 30 millions city or slum event in a wealthy state but you do not want to have children here because of you know that it not stable and sustainable. You do not want destroy whole wild life, extract all resource to support your family (event you have pay for it).
    So I think when Japan population go down to a stable, a new generation of young or stable age will appear. I mean when population is drop down like after Black Dead or after war, the desire and demand for work forces, living ... will create a more young generation...

A confident man is a dead human being

http://www.katinkahesselink.net/kr/confiden.html https://ernietheattorney.net/a-confident-man-is-a-dead-human-being/ https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060648082/ernietheattor-20/103-5695954-1041405 I’m reading this book, which I’ve read before.  Somehow this time the ideas seem less abstract.   I enjoyed this passage, and carefully underlined it: "In order to understand ourselves we need a great deal of humility.  If you start by saying, ‘I know myself’, you have already stopped learning about yourself…A confident man is a dead human being." I especially love that Krishnamurti doesn’t profess to be able to impart any great truth, which this passage shows quite nicely: "I have nothing to teach you — no new philosophy, no new system, no new path to reality; there is no path to reality any more than to truth.  All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive, evil thing.  Leaders destroy...

You worship success

You worship success We all want to become something: a pacifist, a war hero, a millionaire, a virtuous man, or what you will. The very desire to become involves conflict, and that conflict produces war. There is peace only when there is no desire to become something, and that is the only true state because in that state ...

To observe it so that it is totally cleansed, wiped away, which means to be vulnerable, which means sensitive. A sensitive person is not wounded, he is sensitive. Right? Because then a sensitive person is attentive, watchful. And when there is attention there is no space for getting hurt. And also we looked at, observed, relationship, which is very important in our lives. We cannot possibly live without relationship. You may go off into the mountains by yourself but you are related. Related means you are carrying all the tears of the world, the laughter, the pain, the anxiety, the loneliness, it's there. You may physically wander off but you are carrying all that weight on your shoulders, as relationship is extraordinarily important, we live by relationship. We cannot possibly escape from relationship, but we dictate what that relationship should be. And so we get caught, we kill each other in our relationships. So one has to enquire very, very deeply, the nature of relationship a...
