What is China really like – fact and fiction

Don't miss it. With CGTN ...

One can see this distinction in the wider society too - East vs. West; cultures with different foundations - long term (family, infrastructure, community, the arts) versus short term (hype, sex, gossip, war). Mature versus immature. We versus me. The immature mind thinks 'me'; the mature mind understands that life is really about 'we'. Maturity is when one grows beyond the narcissism phase *. 'I' am just a small part of a bigger 'I' - humanity. With Dr. Robert Lustig ... One is controlled when one believes what one has been told (sold). Freedom is removing these mind chains and seeing reality. ----- * (footnote) At BB, we think that narcissism is a development phase that most transition out of; but some stay there and it can become exaggerated. The traditional views might also be true; likely, there is an interplay involved. ----- ----- Aside #1 : Q : Why does BB have so much content about health - nutrition and mental well-being ? A : Because it is fundamental to everything else; one cannot see the beauty of life if one's mind is mixed up; one cannot live life to the full if one is ill. ----- ----- Aside #2 : Confucius : One can grow from everybody one meets. On life's journey, one will meet wise people - learn from them; one will also meet foolish people - look deep within to see if one also has these follies.

With George Galloway - don't miss it ... One World - One family. It's not rocket science. Meanwhile (in the real world, outside the West's frothing at the mouth bid for global tyranny) ... Us and Them - music - Roger Waters live in concert ... Escape the madness - calm, meditative / oneness / rejuvenation / thanksgiving music - release stress, and once again become a beacon of love. Because it is not about me. It is about we ... One more - Chris Hedges in conversation with Hamza Yusuf ... "What is a fool but someone who doesn't know who they are or where they're going." - Hamza Yusuf
